MXN Cash Counter for Mexican Peso Notes and Coins

The MXN Cash Counter adds Mexican peso notes and coins in exact integer centavos. Sort the physical cash, enter a whole non-negative quantity for each kind and face value, and verify the subtotals against the groups in front of you. The page and locked calculator share the reviewed Banxico data.

Keep current and older valid families in one row

The default notes are MX$1,000, MX$500, MX$200, MX$100, MX$50, and MX$20. The default coins are MX$20, MX$10, MX$5, MX$2, MX$1, and 50, 20, 10, and 5 centavos. Banxico's currently manufactured page and Monetary Law were checked 30 August 2026.

Mexican cash has several families and commemorative designs. A valid older MX$500 note and current MX$500 note still share the same cash kind and modern face value. Likewise, ordinary and commemorative current MX$20 coins use one coin row rather than separate artwork-based subtotals.

TheCashCount does not authenticate a family or judge condition. Banxico's accessible-cash material can help identify denominations through size and tactile features, but official identification and the organisation's procedure must resolve an uncertain piece before it enters a completed Cash Count.

Withdrawing is not the same as demonetized

Banxico keeps the MX$10 banknote plus MX$50 and MX$100 coins in the process of being withdrawn. They retain legal-tender status, while banks receiving them remove them from further circulation. Production therefore offers these values behind Legacy Denominations.

Optional means uncommon and on an official withdrawal path, not invalid. A verified piece can still contribute face value. Banxico's exchange service is the appropriate route when a user needs a bank or service-window decision; the calculator only records the accepted physical inventory.

Do not read an old-peso numeral as current MXN

Pre-1993 currency belongs to the previous monetary unit. Banxico's demonetized material explains that its current-peso conversion is one-thousandth of the printed old-peso denomination. An old note marked 1,000 pesos is therefore not a modern MX$1,000 note.

The active calculator deliberately does not create face-value rows from those old numerals. Keep a demonetized piece out of the current drawer and use Banxico's exchange information if a conversion route applies. This prevents a thousand-fold counting error and keeps lifecycle separate from artwork.

Exact inventory can differ from payment boundaries

The smallest default coin is five centavos. Monetary Law rules for settling fractions that cannot be paid exactly do not change the denomination value of coins physically present. The Cash Count must still total each accepted piece in integer centavos.

The law also limits legal-tender coin payment by number of pieces per denomination. That transaction boundary is not a maximum drawer or safe quantity. Count the entire inventory first, then apply payment, change-making, or deposit policy separately.

A repeatable Mexican peso Cash Count

Count notes from MX$1,000 down, then coins from MX$20 to five centavos. Enable the withdrawing MX$10 note or high-value coins only when verified pieces are actually present. Compare the completed Cash Count with Expected Cash and recount independently if the result is Over or Short.

The worked example combines two MX$1,000 notes and one five-centavo coin. Its MX$2,000.05 result is generated from 200,005 integer centavos by the production calculation and formatter used in the locked MXN calculator.
