The Bank of Mexico issued a new style 50 peso bill this month.
Like the 20 peso bill, the new 50 peso bank note is printed on resistant polymer instead of paper and has extra security features.

 How it looks. |
The Bank said that polymer is more durable and picks up less dirt than paper, so it is more hygienic too.
The front of the bill still features an image of José María Morelos y Pavon, a liberal priest who was leader of the Mexican independence movement against the Spanish from 1811 to 1815. |
