About the Mexican Peso

The Mexican Peso is commonly represented by its currency code (MXN) and in its symbol form ($). Did you know that Mexico actually used the $ symbol before the United States? However in some places you might see it referred to as MX$ or $100 MN (MN stands for Moneda Nacional, or National Currency) helping you to differentiate the peso with the dollar.

Facts

The Mexican Peso coin is made up of 100 Mexican cents; or centavos. The most popular banknotes are $50, $100 and $200, but rarer $20, $500 and $1,000 notes do exist. Coins are minted in 5, 10, 20 and 50 centavos, although those under 50 centavos are rarely seen now. You can also use $1, $2, $5 and $10 coins, which are quite handy when you are paying for taxi fares and smaller tips.
