Mexican banknotes information

As established by Article 17 of Mexico's monetary law, the total or partial imitation or reproduction of metal coins or banknotes, domestic or foreign, in labels, drawings, advertisements or in any other form is prohibited except in those cases in which the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, in agreement with Banco of México, authorizes it specifically. In the latter case, the images cannot have an appearance suitable for misleading, cannot lead to counterfeiting nor, in general, can they affect the safety of currency circulation. Please click the following link for more information.

A banknote may be reproduced if the reproductions are smaller than 75% or larger than 125% of the original banknote. Partial and low resolution images are preferred, but if this is not the case, it does not constitute grounds for disapproval, as other aspects are also reviewed. Reproductions that, in the opinion of the central bank, constitute or promote counterfeiting, or that may be confused with a legally issued banknote, are not authorised. Applicants are usually asked to ensure that the size of the reproductions differs by at least 25% with respect to the size of the real banknotes.

Low resolution images are preferred, but there are no specific limitations.
