The Interventor, Manuel Gómez y Velasco, signed $750,000 in notes in January and February 1900, $800,000 in March, and $1,000,000 in April to June.
By 31 December 1900 $1,600,000 had been put into circulation and a further $250,000 was issued in 1901.
In the beginning the notes had trouble being accepted. The two national banks, the Banco Nacional de México and the Banco de Londres y México, refused to accept them as did the railway. It was reported that someone who wanted to buy a ticket had to stay in Guadalajara as he only had Banco de Jalisco notes. In his first report the manager, Narciso Miranda, denied problems but he might have been putting on a gloss.
