    Some very cool additions to your collection. I enjoyed looking at them as always. I really like the Hong Kong polymer note and several of the others. I've got a long list of notes I want to purchase. Just have to figure where to start. Thanks for sharing your additions to your collection.

    Ha, that 20 pesos note I have too. :) Well, mine is dated May 2003. That was the very first polymer note I have ever come across in circulation (was in MX then), so I decided to keep it ...

    That would be series 'V' dated 23 May 2003 but relesed 2005/06 according to the catalouge & there are 2 variations of the signatures for that one. Would those dates fit in with when you were in Mexico?
     
  10. chrisild

    chrisild Coin Collector

    Pretty much, yes. I was there in March 2006, and that note has the date you mentioned. (Series W though.) The first one I touched felt a little odd :) but I got used to them quickly. Maybe because the Mexican ones are fairly thin; they almost feel like paper ...
