The Newest Banknotes Of Mexico

Even though I do not collect banknotes I keep an eye on what's going on with current banknotes around the world. So, yes, I had read about the new banknotes a few days ago.


I find it surprising that the 100 Peso note is polymer while the 1000 Peso notes remains cotton/paper. Any idea why?


Secondly, what about the 20 Peso banknote? Is it going to be replaced or phased out by the new bi-metalic 20 Peso coin, or will the banknote and the coin run concurrently for the foreseeable future?

The date on the 1000 Peso note shows that it was printed last year, 2019. The 200 note is from this year, 2020.

Artwork OK.
What is really needed is money that cannot be used by the cartels - they have to be put out of business, and a monetary way of doing so may be the only way of achieving this.

1. Redlock has asked an interesting question, which I also would like the answer to.
2. I have been looking for a silver center 20 Pesos, to go with the SC 10 Pesos coin which I already have. The World's last coins with silver, which were issued into circulation.

Get rid of all cash then.

True. The successful criminals are much more adaptive than law abiding citizens.

Perhaps I should have said get rid of all money.
