Do these have a current value?


We found these stashed away from years ago. Are they worth anything?

No, they're worthless. If they were still worth their face value, they would only be worth 3 pesos today, because they dropped 3 zeros when they changed the currency.

I have a 1977 issue ten peso note! I am petty sure it was probably worthless when the new issues came out, and if I knock three zeros off of it, do I owe money if I exchange it?

I just love old bills. Such fun to see the changes from then to now.
