The AA-type banknotes, manufactured by the American Bank Note Company, were put into circulation by Banco de Mexico as follows: the first issue between 1925 and 1934, the second issue between 1936 and 1942, and the third between 1936 and 1978.
They were withdrawn from circulation as from 1992. 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 for transactions. Their current value is equivalent to one thousandth of their original value.
