HoneyBee Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Today I went to an ATM to get sufficient funds to pay workers. When the money came out, I thought wow that's a lot of 20 pesos bills. As it turns out, the color of the new 500 pesos note is very close to the existing 20 pesos note. That should create some interesting stories when the liquor flows on weekends.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Color may be close but the texture is quite a bit different - 500 feels like heavy paper; 20 is a like a plastic laminate and has a clear window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Mexico's Central Bank intends to phase-out the 20 peso note and replace it with a 20 peso coin. https://www.mexperience.com/new-500-peso-bank-note-enters-circulation-in-mexico/ Quote The current $20 peso bank note also features Benito Juárez. It will be gradually withdrawn from circulation and replaced with a $20 peso coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 There have been 20 peso coins in circulation before and then they kinda disappeared when the new 20 peso notes came out. Those suckers are HEAVY and I will be taking every opportunity to get rid of them... just like the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have a nice new 20 peso coin. It's great to look at, but I would hate to have a pocket full of them. They look much like the 10 peso coin only LARGER and of course heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
