The history section is horrible! The Mexican Peso did not even exist until 1864 under Maximillian (and then only briefly). The term Peso is being used where the Spanish 8 reales coin should be used! (and Spanish 8 reales coins were minted in many places other than Mexico) 3 August 2005
Dear Anonymus: I believe you have not done enough research on the history of the Mexican Peso. It is true that the real was used as well and that ONLY during the colonial times (as much as the shilling was used in Britain along with the pound before converting to the decimal system). Peso, originated as a weight measure of silver (of which Mexico was and is the first world producer, which made Spain, in colonial times, coin more Mexican pesos than any other form of currency), and it was equivalent to 8 reals (another meausure of weight), in turn, I believe it was 32 maravedis that made up a real, but that was only used in Spain. Also, the peso existed way before Maximilian, as the agreement on the "sale" of the Northern States and Territories to the US after the Mexican/American war (the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo), shows the amount in pesos. While the emission of Mexican coins were used throught the Spanish Empire before the Independence, after the independence it continued on. Plenty of documents abound that show the use of Mexican peso throught the 19th and obviously 20th century. -- 129.119.25.31 21:02, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
I have made some updates to the history section, bringing the history of the coinage up to the 1970's. Although the word "Peso" did not appear on any Mexican coin prior to Maximilian, the denomination did exist, equal to 8 reales (usually shown on the coin abbreviated as 8 R). The Spanish Milled Dollar was the coin the US dollar was denominated to, even in the times of the Continental Currency prior to 1792.

I have a question. I went to this article because I am curious about an 1832 Mexican land grant deed I am working on. The official translation to English (done by the General Land Office in Texas in the 1940s) states that the buyer paid 129 pesos, nine granos, and forty (cuenta) hundredths of a grano for the equivalent of about 17,000 acres of land in south Texas. I see a lot of discussion whether pesos were even issued at the time, and no mention whatsoever in the article of granos. The tax or fee on the petition appears to be dos reales. I cannot make out much of the original document, so am relying on the 1943 translation . According to one comment above a peso was worth 8 reales, but what is a grano? Can anyone enlighten me or am I just looking at a poor translation? Thanks.

By the way, the term toston is NEVER used nowadays, as it refers to the 50 cents of the MXP. With the devaluation of the MXP up to 3.000 MXP per dollar, this coin ceased to be used in the early 80's, and the term was lost. With the introduction of the MXN in 1993, the "new" 50 cents coin was created, but it has never been referred to as toston.
When was the peso decimalized? Was it in the "monetary reform of 1905" mentioned in the article? Nik42 09:13, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
How can one say that "the Mexican peso was the official currency for much of North America until the United States dollar began to be issued in 1785", when Mexico didn't even exist as a country until decades later? Maybe there was a coin called "peso", but "Mexican peso"? Either that's wrong or should be clarified. Itub 01:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
And I would think that the British pound would've been about just as dominant as the peso on the eastern side of the continent, with a million Indians in between who wouldn't have cared about either one. Brian8710 06:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

22:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)This article states that 10 and 20 centavo coins are still commonly used. Yet, my uncle and aunt said they never saw anything below 50 centavo when they vacationed in Mexico recently. Have those coins fallen out of use, or is it a regional issue, perhaps not in much use in tourist areas? Nik42 04:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I obviously don't speak Spanish. I tried to use Google translate to find things that look like 10 and 20 centavo coins. But I couldn't. Could you give some examples of untranslated quote from the sources? Thanks. -- ChoChoPK (球球PK) ( talk | contrib) 02:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

So are the Nuevo Peso coin's (the one's that have N$# that were produced 1993-1995), still legal tender in México?
Also, I've seen them refered to as "B Style Peso" with the pre- 1993 being the "A Style" and the current one's the "C Style". Are these terminologies in use?

The us dollar is the offical currnecy in the Usa not the Mexican peso —Preceding unsigned comment added by Child Unit Sam ( talk • contribs) 03:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
His claims about the Mexican Peso are obviously false to anyone who looks at them. He claims that the US began using the Mexican peso in 1785, but this is impossible because it did not exist. Mexico, did not exist. In 1785 it was part of Spain. Mexico did not exist as a country officially until 1821, and didn't even declare independence until 1813.
The Spanish Dollar was in fact the currency of the Spanish empire, and thus of pre-independence territories which would become Mexico. Please see the following:
Today the term peso is sometimes used interchangeably to include the historic Spanish eight real coin. This is primarily because pesos were of similar weight and diameter to the eight real coin. However, the term peso did not appear on Spanish coinage until 1864, and it is more accurate to refer to the older coinage as the eight real coin, which was also called the Spanish dollar or colloquially "a piece of eight."
See this and more at Spanish Dollar.
Dove1950 continues to vandalize Wikipedia by adding blatantly false information. There is no discussion necessary here, he is wrong as proven by ALL reliable sources. I ask others to please help me in policing against his vandalism. 74.132.178.84 ( talk) 17:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
74.132.178.84 insists on the existence of a "Spanish peso", introduced in 1864. No such coin exists. He/she further more insists that Mexico did not exist in 1757, despite the fact that
Mexico City (the site of the mint) pre-dates Columbus. Note that 74.132.178.84 is also removing the rest of the paragraph, noting the link between the peso and several other currencies, without any explanation. Who's being malicious? I've held off from accusing 74.132.178.84 of vandalism until now, because I thought he/she was trying (rather ineptly) to make a reasonable point. It now seems clear that this is not the case.

15:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The recent edits by User:Jolliette have been reverted because they removed content. The arguments given above are highly unconvincing. To begin with, there seems to be a misunderstanding as to the Spanish currency. There was never a currency called the peso used in Spain. All arguments based on the assumption that there was are spurious. Second, there is clear evidence that the Mexican peso was an important trade coin in Asia and was adopted in several states as the basis for the States' own currencies.
The verification for this and more is to be found at
[6], although the author is want to use Mexican peso and Mexican dollar interchangeably.
There is a need to clarify the events of 1785, which is why I originally asked for a citation. I'm afraid that the link Jolliette gave does nothing to say one way or the other as to the origin of the first U.S. dollar.

I'm sorry, I obviously don't speak Spanish. I tried to use Google translate to find things that look like 10 and 20 centavo coins. But I couldn't. Could you give some examples of untranslated quote from the sources? Thanks. -- ChoChoPK (球球PK) ( talk | contrib) 02:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I've deleted some bills from Commons. For all we know, Mexican bills are copyrighted. This has left some red links in this article, and possibly others. I thought I'd inform you, so that you can fix it in the way you prefer. / Fred- Chess 17:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

So are the Nuevo Peso coin's (the one's that have N$# that were produced 1993-1995), still legal tender in México?
Also, I've seen them refered to as "B Style Peso" with the pre- 1993 being the "A Style" and the current one's the "C Style". Are these terminologies in use?

In November 2006, was launched a 50 Pesos note but hasn't actualized since and still is the old 50 Pesos note. The 20 Pesos with new designs will be launched in 4 days (since I comment this) and will have to actualize the page.

The us dollar is the offical currnecy in the Usa not the Mexican peso —Preceding unsigned comment added by Child Unit Sam ( talk • contribs) 03:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
His claims about the Mexican Peso are obviously false to anyone who looks at them. He claims that the US began using the Mexican peso in 1785, but this is impossible because it did not exist. Mexico, did not exist. In 1785 it was part of Spain. Mexico did not exist as a country officially until 1821, and didn't even declare independence until 1813.
The Spanish Dollar was in fact the currency of the Spanish empire, and thus of pre-independence territories which would become Mexico. Please see the following:
Today the term peso is sometimes used interchangeably to include the historic Spanish eight real coin. This is primarily because pesos were of similar weight and diameter to the eight real coin. However, the term peso did not appear on Spanish coinage until 1864, and it is more accurate to refer to the older coinage as the eight real coin, which was also called the Spanish dollar or colloquially "a piece of eight."
See this and more at Spanish Dollar.
Dove1950 continues to vandalize Wikipedia by adding blatantly false information. There is no discussion necessary here, he is wrong as proven by ALL reliable sources. I ask others to please help me in policing against his vandalism. 74.132.178.84 ( talk) 17:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
74.132.178.84 insists on the existence of a "Spanish peso", introduced in 1864. No such coin exists. He/she further more insists that Mexico did not exist in 1757, despite the fact that
Mexico City (the site of the mint) pre-dates Columbus. Note that 74.132.178.84 is also removing the rest of the paragraph, noting the link between the peso and several other currencies, without any explanation. Who's being malicious? I've held off from accusing 74.132.178.84 of vandalism until now, because I thought he/she was trying (rather ineptly) to make a reasonable point. It now seems clear that this is not the case.

The recent edits by User:Jolliette have been reverted because they removed content. The arguments given above are highly unconvincing. To begin with, there seems to be a misunderstanding as to the Spanish currency. There was never a currency called the peso used in Spain. All arguments based on the assumption that there was are spurious. Second, there is clear evidence that the Mexican peso was an important trade coin in Asia and was adopted in several states as the basis for the States' own currencies.
The verification for this and more is to be found at
[6], although the author is want to use Mexican peso and Mexican dollar interchangeably.
There is a need to clarify the events of 1785, which is why I originally asked for a citation. I'm afraid that the link Jolliette gave does nothing to say one way or the other as to the origin of the first U.S. dollar.

In 2010 there will be a series of commemorative coins issued due to the 200th anniversary of the Mexican independence and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican revolution, it was reported in the news that the coins will be regular circulating and commemorative silver/gold coins. The coins will have values of $20 and $100, some preliminary samples were shown on the news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reynosoo ( talk • contribs) 19:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
