They are currently in the process of being withdrawn from circulation.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).

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.
