In your shopping it is possible to exchange a great amount of bills and coins in different presentations, all valid for the Bank of Mexico (Banxico)as long as they are original pieces in New Mexican Pesos, a monetary unit that was introduced into the Mexican economy three decades ago and that has been used in multiple editions of paper money that you will surely have used on some occasion, where some almost no longer are seen while new designs are becoming more common.
However, why are there people who seek to sell copies for high amounts of money? Such is the case of a seller of Free market, who asks 800 thousand pesos for a $20 peso bill. Is that really worth that ticket?
Only the mistreated or damaged copies are withdrawn according to instructions from the Bank of Mexico, therefore, commercial bank branches are in charge of capturing them as they pass through their facilities, but even in those cases they accept them at their official value to carry out operations such as cash deposits. , but they don’t let them go anymore.
For their part, the tickets from past editions can be used interchangeably with the newer ones, although it is also not surprising that there are already people looking to sell some more expensive ones, like this $20 bill for which they want to charge 800 thousand pesos due to an unusual serial number.
Although the serial number does not impact the face value of a ticket to make a transaction, if it is collectible banknotes the scarcity factor is valued when looking for more interesting items for an album numismaticbut in any case, a specimen with an attractive or unusual numerical sequence will be better appreciated.
In the Mercado Libre México publication, the item is promoted by the seller with a number of A0000002 serieswhich indicates that it is the second banknote produced in that circulation of Banxico.
By not changing the numeral, the value of a note for the central bank remains the same. The reason for which said user advertises in the section of “Antiques and Collections” of Free market online purchases mentioned is that they hope that a collector will be willing to pay high amounts of money to acquire the exclusive printed banknote in 2018.
In the design, the former Mexican president Benito Juárez stands out, whose portrait characterized this edition of the F Family of Banxico banknotes, like other varieties in the same denomination before becoming the image of the new $500 bill.
