Coins of Mexico

[dieharddigger]

Hey all,
After reading ModernMiner's post about the Peso earring I got to thinking about the mexican coins I detected over the past year. I am just curious if anyone knows anything about them,like what they are made of and value? Or maybe a good site for information.
Thanks, Steve

As far as if you tried trading it for US currency, close to nothing. But you could always sell it to someone somewhere that wants it because they look cool. Or better yet, put it in a foreign money collection. If you don't have one, start one...

I found one of them way up in the woods in stream a few years ago, about messed my shorts when the edge showed through. Woulda swore it was a gold coin.

From what I understand they don't even take them anymore. Check out this thread:
