On the one hand, there is the theoretical dimension where the issues of the banknote families that preceded the one identified with the letter “G” were analyzed “in order to know if they generate national identity, if they are congruent with each other and if they transmit the message raised, to determine its possible impact on the public. “
The other aspect to be considered by the CIESAS group of experts was perception. In this case, an “Evaluation of the level of acceptance by the public of safety elements and design components for the new family was carried out through surveys and focus groups in different cities of the country.” It was at this stage of the research that the perception of people with visual impairment and blindness was taken into account so that the design and characteristics of the new banknotes were more inclusive and easier to identify by means other than visual ones.
Regarding the new security measures in Family G banknotes, Banxico explains that “In the case of the new 100, 200 and 500 peso banknotes, the multicolored denomination is incorporated and in the last two denominations the dynamic thread, as main measures for their authentication by the public. “
