If I recall correctly, 1 Peso was worth 8 cents US then. (That was the "old" peso, however, which is no longer negotiable.)

Cool! I was actually born in Guadalajara in 1972, my folks moved to L.A. when I was 3 in 1975. My family still lives in Zapopan Jalisco, (Tabachines) neighborhood. That's when I last went to Guadalajara. I also had family in Colima, Colima Mexico. and yes, I would love to visit again! it's been too long! :)

Even the old New Peso bills are no longer negotiable.
