Hey Art, or anybody living close to our lovely Mexico.
Since RDTayopa seems to be absent lately, I am relying on you guys to satisfy my curiosity.
Recently a couple of guys using a Mineoro FG80 LRL found 160 gold coins buried in Argentina. Pic bellow.
They are dated 1959. OK, someone hides them in a hole in order to get them later or use the hole as a safe. Many possibilities.
But what really intrigues me is the fact that gold coins still seems to be used as their currency? I found a site about mexican coins and saw pictures of gold coins which still seem to be used.
Can anyone tell me how exactly these coins are used in Mexico? Normal daily currency? Special cases? How?
Thanks in advance.
