The truth behind the 2 thousand pesos banknote that Banxico will launch

The Banco de México (Banxico) confirmed the arrival of a new 2,000-peso banknote that will be part of the G family. These banknotes are characterized by certain security elements such as touch-sensitive reliefs, folios, crescent folios, linear backgrounds and fluorescence. The supposed design of the new banknote is already circulating with the face of writer Octavio Paz and journalist Rosario Castellanos in front.

In social networks users comment that the theme will be Mexico Contemporáneo, so the ticket will bring in the back old installations of Mexican tequila companies, the ecosystem of dry forests, a magueyero bat and the agave. For his part, Banxico indicated that no design of 'wste has been published, however, some elements are contemplated to make it up.

If for some reason the design of the G family banknote were real it could have a big impact like some predecessors. Such is the case of the 50-peso bill with the axolotl. According to IBNS, it is the most beautiful in the world and Mexico occupies that place for the second year in a row. In the competition there were twenty nominees among more than a hundred new banknotes. The axolotl banknote stole all attention by winning even the 200-dobra banknote from Sao Tome and Principe, the 10,000 colones from Costa Rica and the 50-pound banknote from the bank of England.

The G family of banknotes is part of a plan put forward by the Banco de México since 2013, but it was not until 2018 that they began to be introduced. So far the best-known specimens that are circulating in Mexico are 50 pesos, 1000 pesos and 20 pesos.
