History<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time of the conquest, the Spaniards introduced coins they carried and used them in conjunction as ways of payment with the natives (along with cacao, beads, feathers) or trade. In the sixteenth century the first factory of minting (Mint of Mexico) was inaugurated and began to mint the Peso. In 1925 the Bank of Mexico would be responsible for issuing the bank notes are created. In the 90s, due to inflation, the old peso was replaced by the new peso, as we know it today.<\/p>\n

Notes and coins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mexican Pesos banknotes are 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 100 Pesos. The 20 and 50 are polymer and 100, 200, 500 and 1000 are cotton paper. There are a number of notes in circulation plus two Mexican independence commemorative banknotes, the 100 and 200 pesos.<\/p>\n

Mexican Pesos coins are 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos.<\/p>\n
