Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen at Launch of
Bicentennial Anniversary 20-Peso Coin in Mexico City, Mexico
December 6, 2023

As Prepared for Delivery
Good a ernoon. Iʼm glad to be able to be part of this exciting event. Last December, the
United States and Mexico celebrated the bicentennial of U.S.-Mexico relations.
This December, here in Mexico City, Iʼm proud to help launch a 20-peso coin commemorating
this milestone.
This 20-peso coin represents the bilateral relationship that the United States and Mexico have
maintained and grown for two centuries.
This relationship remains extremely strong today. From increasing trade and investment, to
illicit drug tra icking, to the many other areas of collaboration we are discussing during my
trip here—Mexico is a key partner of the United States. The United States is of course a key
partner of Mexico as well.
As this new coin starts to circulate in the months ahead, I hope that it will be a tangible
reminder to those who use it of the long history between our countries and of the strength of
our current partnership.
As we continue to see new opportunities for the U.S.-Mexico relationship and in the region,
the coin also represents the work we will do in the years to come.
Thank you to the Bank of Mexico for their work in developing this coin and to all of you for
being here today on this important occasion.
Iʼll now turn the floor over to Governor Rodríguez.
