Bisbee Gal Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 https://www.theyucatantimes.com/2020/11/mexico-to-launch-new-thousand-peso-bill-this-is-how-it-looks/ The new version of the thousand peso bill will commemorate the Mexican Revolution, which began on November 20, 1910, and will incorporate improvements in the security elements compared to those of the current family. The new banknote is of a gray hue and shows on the obverse the image of the heroes of the country Francisco I. Madero, Hermila Galindo and Carmen Serdán. On the back of the banknote there is a design of the ecosystem of humid forests, the jaguar, the ceiba and the sapote, as well as the Ancient Mayan City and protected tropical forests of Calakmul, in Campeche, considered world heritage of natural and cultural type.

SunFan Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Looking forward to the new thousand pesos bills. Hope they go into general circulation unlike the old thousand peso notes. SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I concur with SunFan, except, like with the 500 peso bill, no one will have any change, especially for 1000 pesos. However, paying some liabilities would be much easier with a 1000 peso bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Good luck in finding a sales person ,store, small shopkeeper willing to take them. The same problem with the old notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hopefully the ATMs won't start spitting them out if one asks for, say, 8,000-10,000 pesos. I get enough 500 notes as it is. One can only get so much petrol or go to Walmart so many times in the normal course of a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXN banks are required by law to change large bills for smaller ones, regardless of whether you are a customer. No cashier has ever batted an eye when I ask for cambio chico and hand them ten 500 notes. They will break it down any way you ask for it.

handfaf Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 The old one did not see much service why would a new one? the twenty coin is a thought. the new 200 is not being used the nor is the 500 or the 100... But this is Mexico love it or leave. Viva Mexico You can be sure that somewhere down the line someone is making $$$$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
