This is a 1976 10 Peso, Mexican coin I found in a box of halves. It's about the size of a half. Anyone know what they are made of?

Coins older than 1992 are no longer circulated in Mexico, so it has some collector value. Definaltely no silver in it. I believe it equals to about a 1$ coin back when it was used.packerbacker said:This is a 1976 10 Peso, Mexican coin I found in a box of halves. It's about the size of a half.

They wouldn't accept it. I don't think they are worth anything in mexico unless its an old silver coin. A devaluation happend in 1992. I wasn't even around back them but i'm pretty sure they would be able to turn them in for new one's.SFBayArea said:festiva_ford said:Coins older than 1992 are no longer circulated in Mexico, so it has some collector value.

So what happens if you have one in Mexico? What did they do with all the old pesos? I remember they redid the exchange rates a while back.. but I always wonder what happens when a country redoes their money and what happens to the old stuff? Did people turn them in back then for new money?
