Hi gang.. got to get out and hunt a little this morning while most people were either on their way to work or school. I had the day off..<smile> Anyway, after a disappointing search of a popular tot lot I went across the park I was at and began searching the grass strips along side the baseball fields, and the concession stand. It was just around the backside of the concession stand I came across what my Prizm IV thought was a 50cent piece, Big Ol' loud beep, very good target.. and right on the surface! Well.. on top of the grass roots anyway, but not in the soil yet. Well it wasn't a 50cent piece, nor was it even a US coin at all. It was this Mexican coin with a dollar sign on it... $1000.. to be precise! 1989 is the date on it. I just did a google of Mexican coins and it turns out to be a thousand peso coin.. current exchange rate value of just over $90 bucks U.S. YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!
Yeah.. it's not gold, but any coin worth $90 bucks is worth a chicken dance in my book! <flap flap skip, hop, flap flap flap>
<grin>
check it out!
My wife wants me to cash it in.. exchange it I guess it the better term. Who does currency exchanges? The one girl at the bank that I talked to said that they could mail it off for me.. ?
I did learn that the value changes from day to day as well. Might be worth my while to hold off converting it to dollars anyway.
I'm guessing some kid raided his parents piggy bank or someone just got back from a vacation in Mexico and still had this in their pocket.. <shrug> it's in MY pocket now!
