(Expansion) - Goodbye, Sister Juana! Banco de México (Banxico) presented on Monday the new 200-peso banknote, which will feature Miguel Hidalgo and José María Morelos y Pavón as its main figures.

Banxico presented this Monday to the new member of the new banknote family and announced that next year the new 1,000 and 100 peso bills will be put into circulation.

Among the security elements of the new 200-peso banknote, it is worth highlighting the printing with a special ink, a dynamic thread with three windows, in addition to the dynamic thread on the left side and touch-sensitive reliefs.

The new ticket is printed on a cotton substrate and was made in such a way that it is easier to recognize for people with visual disabilities, for which the Bank of Mexico informed that it distributes some tables so that this population can recognize them.

These tables will be distributed in places such as the José Vasconcelos Library, calling 800-BANXICO or writing an email to dinero@banxico.org.mx.

Likewise, the central bank presented the free MX Tickets application, which works with augmented reality and with which users can access information on the issuance of future tickets, as well as detect false units. It can also be used as a new form of payment.

The governor of Banxico, Alejandro Díaz de León, stressed that the central bank has the main task of preserving the purchasing power of tickets.

Banxico began in 2013 with the bill renewal process, which now has studies in neuroscience, perception, iconography, among others.

In 2015, it was decided that the new family of banknotes reflected the historical legacy and natural wealth of the country and it was in August 2018 when the first banknote of the new family was presented: the 500-peso bank, which has the image of Benito Juárez.

According to Banxico, the 200 and 500 peso bills are the most counterfeit, which is why the institute decided that these two denominations were the first to be put into circulation as part of the new family.

As for the 2,000-peso bill, Banxico reported that an agreement on the launch has not been reached, but if approved, it would come out in 2023.

Alejandro Alegre, director of issuance of Banxico, said that the new family of banknotes is inclusive with people with disabilities, so the difference in size between each of the denominations is 0.7 mm.

Alegre announced that in 2021 a 20-peso commemorative ticket will be launched on the occasion of the consummation of the Independence of Mexico.

In addition, the current 20-peso bill will disappear and be replaced by a coin of the same amount.
