Gold is winning over the hearts of Argentines, a nation once almost irrationally devoted to the dollar.
Argentina's deep-rooted reliance on the greenback -- the country ranks among top holders of the U.S. currency, according to estimates by economists and former central bank officials -- is now being challenged by a growing appetite for gold. From bullion and small bars to exchange-traded funds, Argentines are increasingly turning to the precious metal as an alternative store of value.
