It can happen

"By the end of November 2001, people fearing the worst began withdrawing large sums of money from their bank accounts, turning pesos into dollars and sending them abroad, causing a run on the banks. On 2 December 2001 the government enacted a set of measures, informally known as the corralito,[29][30] that effectively froze all bank accounts for twelve months,[31][32] allowing for only minor sums of cash to be withdrawn, initially announced to be of just $250 a week.[33]" - Argentina


It can happen, it has happened, and it will happen.
