In 1993, after months of hyperinflation and capital flight from Mexico, then president Carlos Salinas de Gortari introduced a new Mexican peso (Neuvo peso) by stripping three zeros off the currency. Thus, $1000 of old pesos became just $1 of the new currency. Over the following three years, all new, re-valued currency replaced the old, resulting the the ‘Nuevo’ being dropped from the official name.
Frequently used bank notes include $20, $50, $100, $200, $500 and $1000. Coins range from the fractional units known as centavo (10¢, 20¢ and 50¢), and peso values $1, $2, $5, $10 and $20.
