The AA-type banknotes were the first to be printed by Banco de México. They entered circulation in the sixties and, by 1992, they were withdrawn from circulation. They are currently demonetized because they belong to the monetary unit that remained valid until December 31, 1992. This means that they are no longer legal tender and cannot be used to carry out transactions. Their current value is equivalent to one thousandth of their denomination.
