All about Mexican Pesos

The Mexican Peso originates from the eight-real coins that were issued in Mexico during Spanish Colonial rule. Prior to this, the currency used in Mexico was known as the Mexican Real. The Peso eventually replaced the Real in 1863, however the two currencies circulated alongside each other for a time.

The Mexican Peso is one of the oldest currencies in North America, and was even accepted in Canada and the USA up until the late 1800s.

Up until the 1970s, the Mexican Peso was considered one of the most stable currencies within the Latin American region. However the oil boom and subsequent crash that occurred in Mexico from 1977 to 1981 caused the currency to severely inflate and devalue. This effect was felt well into the 1980s.

Following this, the Mexican Government released an economic strategy aimed at fostering economic stability and growth in the country. With this came the issue of a new currency, known as the Nuevo Peso (New Peso), with 1 New Peso being equal to 1000 MXP Pesos.

In 1996, the “nuevo'' was dropped from the name of the currency, and new banknotes were placed into circulation, with the value remaining the same.
