I have no idea how this bank note came into my possession, but I would appreciate anything someone can tell me about the note. The note serial number is: H934705. The note also states it is a "SERIE BCT" and the date says "9-VI-1965."

At the bottom of the note is written "American Bank Note Company," but it feels like real currency. I think the note is kind of neat with the 'Mayan Calendar' on the front and the whole '2012 Mayan Prophecy.'

Many, Many Countries currency was at one time printed on stock from ABNco...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americ...Note_Company


Your note is very common...probably worth about 10¢.

The Mayan calendar on this note is quite beautiful imo. Mexican currency has always been very attractive to me....

one of my favorites...

I would think that printing a note for a single Peso would be cost prohibitive?

The note you posted is very pretty!

Probably why they stopped Un Peso notes in 1970.

When this note was printed the peso still had silver in it and it was worth printing a one peso note.

The center device is Aztec not Mayan.
