As for the 100 pesos bill, it is interesting, there is in fact a very small poem printed on it, my understanding is that this poem was written by Nezahualcoyotl , you can take a look at it in this page:

And more poems from Nezahualcoyotl can be found:

Finally you can learn more about Nezahualcoyotl in wikipedia:

So as I mentioned before the mexican peso has changed a lot and the symbols you can find on it are related to the mexican history, you can find refernces to former presidents, emblematic mexican cities and to people that are important to us (mexicans)
