- The widely shared design showing Octavio Paz and Rosario Castellanos was identified as an unofficial montage that has circulated since at least 2022.
- The current banknote families of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos are being renewed to improve security, durability and tactile features.
- Family F 20-peso notes stopped being redistributed by banks on October 10, 2025, yet they remain legal tender and must still be accepted.
