===First === [[File:Imperialpeso.png|thumb|The look on the front of the Imperial Mexican Peso.]] [[File:Billete_de_10_pesos_del_Banco_de_Londres,_México_y_Sudamérica_de_1887.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A ten-peso banknote of the London Bank of Mexico and South America at the National Numismatic Museum, Mexico City.]] The first banknotes issued by the Mexican state were produced between 1822 and 1823 by Emperor [[Agustin de Iturbide]] in denominations of 1, 2 and 10 pesos.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1 Peso, Mexico |url=https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note308464.html |access-date=2025-03-24 |website=en.numista.com |language=en}}</ref> Similar issues were made by the republican government later in 1823. Ten-pesos notes were also issued by Emperor Maximilian in 1866 but, until the 1920s, banknote production lay entirely in the hands of private banks and local authorities. In 1920, the Monetary Commission (''Comisión Monetaria'') issued 50-centavos and 1-peso notes whilst the [[Banco de México|Bank of Mexico (''Banco de México'')]] issued 2-pesos notes. From 1925, the Bank issued notes for 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos, with 500 and 1000 pesos following in 1931. From 1935, the Bank also began issuing a new series of banknotes (Series AA) including 1-peso notes and, from 1945, 10,000 pesos. These notes were printed by the [[ABCorp|American Bank Note Company]].<ref name=abnc/> The banknote of 10,000 pesos was kept in circulation between 1945 and 1956 and was put into circulation again in 1979, being replaced by the 10,000 banknotes that would come into circulation in 1982. A new series of notes were printed and issued by the [[Banco de México|Bank of Mexico]], starting in 1969 (again as Series AA) with 10 pesos, followed by 5 pesos in 1971, 20 and 50 pesos in 1973, 100 pesos in 1975, 1,000 pesos in 1978, 500 pesos in 1979 and 10,000 pesos in 1982. These were the first notes to be printed directly by Banco de México.<ref name=aa/> Production of 1-peso notes ceased in 1970, followed by 5 pesos in 1972, 10 and 20 pesos in 1977, 50 pesos in 1984, 100 pesos in 1985, 500 pesos in 1987 and 1,000 pesos in 1988. A new series (Series A) were issued starting from 1980: 5,000-pesos notes were introduced in 1980, followed by 2,000 pesos in 1983, 20,000 pesos in 1985, 50,000 pesos in 1986 and 100,000 pesos in 1991.<ref name=a/> ==== Series AA ==== {|class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%" |- |+ Series AA banknotes printed by the [[ABCorp|American Bank Note Company]] (1936)<ref name=abnc>{{cite web|title=Demonetized AA-type banknotes, issued by Banco de México and printed by the American Bank Note Company (ABNC)|url=https://www.banxico.org.mx/banknotes-and-coins/demonetized-aa-type-banknotes001.html|website=banxico.org.mx|access-date=22 October 2019|archive-date=28 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190828093415/http://www.banxico.org.mx/banknotes-and-coins/demonetized-aa-type-banknotes001.html|url-status=live}}</ref> |- !colspan="2"| Image ! rowspan="2" |Value ! rowspan="2" |Dimensions (millimeters) ! colspan="2" |Design ! colspan="2" |Date of |- !
