By the early 1980's, the [[Mexico|Mexican]] economy was running into trouble. Political mismanagement, corruption, an antiquated tax structure and an exploding population were feeding serious inflation. Coin types, once stable in the early part of the century, began turning over more rapidly as inflation ate away their purchasing power. While this gave employment to coin designers and engravers, it limited their scope of action as progressively cheaper alloys were adopted. This ten pesos was introduced in 1985 and a portrait of Hidalgo adopted. This type was issued without change until 1990. The circulation coinage of the 1980's is also notable for being the first coinage to feature the denomination in Braille, altho the effect is only symbolic as the dots are too small to be useful.
