Banknotes belonging to the B-type entered circulation in 1993 and have design features similar to those of A-type banknotes. They are denominated in “new pesos”. A “new peso” is equivalent to 1000 pesos of the previous monetary unit.
They are currently in the process of being withdrawn from circulation. This means that they continue to be legal tender (their face value is the denomination stated). However, by Banco de México’s resolution they are withdrawn from circulation by commercial banks. This means that are valid for commercial and exchange transactions but when they arrive to commercial banks, they are set apart to be deposited in Banco de México and will no longer be handed out to the public.
