| Comments |
This denomination spans an unusually long printing window — over three decades — during which Mexico's economy absorbed post-war industrialization, oil nationalism, and chronic peso pressure. The ABNC contract for high-denomination Mexican notes was a long-running arrangement, and the New York engraving and printing quality was consistently finer than what domestic facilities could produce during most of this period.
By the late 1970s, 10,000 pesos was no longer a large sum. Inflation had done its work quietly across the note's lifetime.
