Seventh emission

Seventh emission

(printed by el Banco de México)

The process ended with the elimination of the adjective "nuevos" (new) from the name of the unit in the series of banknotes issued since 1996. These banknotes have the same design as the former ones, but the legend "Pagara a la Vista al Portador" (will pay on sight to the bearer) has been deleted together with the article "EL" before of the name of the Bank of Mexico, signatures have been reduced from 3 to 2 and the adjective "nuevos" (new) has been eliminated from the name of the unit.

Throughout all the emission, the letters "I" and "O" are not used in the series and subseries in order to avoid the confusion with the digits 1 and 0.

The Bank of Mexico classify this emission in two families:

Family D for the denominations of 10, 20, 50 (type 1 and 2), 100 (type 1 and 2), 200 (type 1, 2 and 3) y 500 (type 1 and 2) pesos
Family D1 for the denominations of 50 (type 3), 100 (type 3 y 4), 200 (type 4 and 5), 500 (type 3 and 4) and 1000 pesos

On May 11, 2004, the Mexican Legislative Branch modified articles 4 and 5 of the Monetary Law of the United Mexican States, with entry into force as of January 1, 2006.

Precisely, article 4 deals with paper money and says that "The banknotes of the Bank of Mexico will have unlimited liberating power and must contain one or several characteristics that allow blind people to identify their denomination."

As of this date:

The banknotes of 50, 100, 200, 500 y 1,000 pesos have touch-sensitive reliefs in the text "BANCO DE MÉXICO", the hero, the vignette and the denomination.
The banknotes of 100, 200, 500 and 1000 pesos also have relief on the element that changes color.
The front of the banknotes of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos includes a band within which the denomination can be seen in color.

Denomination	Type	Relief	Iridescent Band
$ 50	Type 3
$ 100	Type 3 and 4
$ 200	Type 4 and 5
$ 500	Type 3 and 4
$ 1000

In addition, as of December 19, 2005, the Bank of Mexico put into circulation banknotes of 100 (type 4), 200 (type 5) and 500 (type 4) pesos with a haptic mark for people with visual disabilities. The mark has a touch-sensitive relief, is distinctive for each denomination and is located in the upper right part of the obverse of these banknotes; It consists of five dotted and parallel lines, inclined slightly to the left, for the denomination of 100 pesos; a square shape outlined in its four corners for the 200 pesos denomination, and four horizontal and parallel dashed lines for the 500 pesos denomination.

The current ten pesos note has been substituted by a ten pesos coin and has not been printed anymore together with the others denominations.

The banknotes of this seventh emission are in the process of being withdrawn. They still retain their liberating power, that is, they are worth what the bill indicates, but by resolution of the Bank of Mexico they are withdrawn from the monetary circulation through the banks. This means that they can continue to be used for commercial and exchange transactions, but when they reach the banks, they must separate them so that they are not released to the public again.
