Centavos are the subdivision of the peso, just like there are 100 pennies to a dollar.
Crotalito was saying:
In Mexico, (the equivalent of) the pound is the peso. I'd like to have a pound (actual weight, ¡un juego de palabras!) of five peso notes (notes = bills, paper currency) in my hand, but they are old (notes) and very hard to find nowadays.
