<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 701849, member: 15199"]Ok here is something else for what it is worth. About 20 years ago I went to a yard sale where the below bill was. The seller was about 70 years old and had worked at RKO movie studio and another I forget. He said that they were doing old Westerns and needed some authentic looking Mexican bills for the robberies, etc. He claims they had the American Banknote make them up these from the old plates. They were suppose to destroy them later, but he and the crew kept a few for souvenirs. Notice that they took the 10 peso and removed the "0" very nicely on front and back and crossed out the line under the vignette ( photo) that said 10 pesos. The story made sense, but I am just repeating what he said <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/10peso.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/10pesorev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
