If $u_\lambda:M\to\mathbb R$ is the viscosity solution of the discounted equation $$ \lambda u_\lambda(x)+H(x,d_x u_\lambda)=c(H), $$ where $c(H)$ is the critical value, we prove that $u_\lambda$ converges uniformly, as $\lambda\to 0$, to a specific solution $u_0:M\to\mathbb R$ of the critical equation $$ H(x,d_x u)=c(H). $$ We characterize $u_0$ in terms of Peierls barrier and projected Mather measures. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1408.6712v1
