Mexican Currency: Bills and Bank Notes

These are images of Mexican bills currently in circulation. Mexican bills have many anti-counterfeit measures, including a watermark, a foil strip, textured paper and holographic "confetti" or striping. If you happen have bills that are from 1970 to 1992, they are out of circulation. In 1993, Mexico issued "Nuevo" pesos (new pesos) in order to stem inflation, and the last two zeros were removed from the value - in other words, an "old" peso bank note with a face value of $10,000 was worth what a $100 nuevo peso bill is worth today. Currency from this time period is common, and is no longer accepted for exchange. In general, the only value of circulated Mexican bank notes from this time, should you happen to have some, is as a souvenir or novelty

Should you have questions about the value of old Mexican currency, we suggest that you contact a rare currency dealer directly.
