Bisbee Gal Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I hope they keep Frida y Diego Will see manana. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/new-500-peso-bill-coming-monday/ Quote A new 500-peso bill will enter circulation Monday but whether images of renowned Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera will remain features of the note is a mystery. The Bank of México announced that it will officially launch the new banknote at an event in Mexico City but it didn’t provide any information about its design. The 500-peso note is the most widely circulated denomination and first appeared in 1994 featuring an image of army general Ignacio Zaragoza, who led the Mexican forces to victory over invading French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The version featuring images of Kahlo and Rivera — who married in 1929, divorced 10 years later then remarried in 1940 — has six anti-fraud features and has circulated since 2010.
