| Comments |
The P#127 1000 Pesos series was printed in-house by Banco de México at its own facilities — the central bank having operated its own printing works since the 1960s, which gives the series a different character from the many Mexican issues produced abroad by the American Bank Note Company or later by foreign security printers. Self-printing at this denomination was a deliberate statement of institutional confidence following the peso crises of the 1980s and 1994.
Color-shifting ink at this face value was introduced partly in response to sophisticated counterfeiting operations that had targeted high-denomination notes in the late 1990s.
