From this date, credit institutions in the country will be obligated to refrain from making the aforementioned banknotes available to the public, and to proceed to deposit them in this Central Bank or its correspondents, classifying them as "Banknotes in Process of Withdrawal and/or Demonetized" in accordance with what is established in articles 60, 63, 68 and 69 of Circular 3/2025 regarding the Provisions on matters of cash operations, correspondent banking, and handling of presumably counterfeit or altered pieces.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, banknotes of the denomination of twenty pesos, type F (key 308) will retain their liberatory power as established in article 4 of the Monetary Law of the United Mexican States, so they must be invariably accepted by credit institutions.

Finally, the provisions referred to in this communication enter into force on October 10, 2025.
