Overview
- Mexico’s central bank reiterated that it has not authorized or scheduled a 2,000‑peso note and said the viral designs are fabricated.
- Banxico’s current rollout covers refreshed 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000‑peso notes with new security features, longer life and improved accessibility.
- Per an October 10 directive, banks no longer redistribute the family F 20‑peso note and must return it to Banxico, though it can still be used for payments during the transition.
- A 2,000‑peso concept tied to the family G project—featuring Octavio Paz and Rosario Castellanos—exists only as a contingency and would be issued solely if cash‑use needs warranted it.
- The rumor’s resurgence fueled online speculation about inflation, and Banxico urged the public to rely on official channels for accurate information.
