The one I hit the most is Santa Monica (northside of the pier) and the next one is Zuma. Zuma has been bad luck for me this year. Santa Monica has been good to me .

Nice beach finds.... The Mexican coin, I see a $ symbol on it. What's up? I thought (when I lived in CA) that the Mexicans had a peso.....your might be able to spend the English coin still.... looks familiar. I like the necklace very much, what are the things hanging on it?

The things hanging are copper discs.

I have not checked into it but I think that The $ means Peso on the newer Mexican coins but am not sure.

Searched a little more on the net and found some information about the Peso. Thought maybe you all might like to know...

The "$" sign on a Mexican coin represents Mexican pesos, not U.S. dollars. Although a Peso symbol exists it is not used by Mexico I guess.

The peso sign (see photo) was originally designed in 1902 by Charles A. Conant, the architect of the American colonial monetary system. At the time, the Philippine Peso, like its Mexican counterpart, used the dollar sign ($) for its currency even though they were pesos. Conant realized that unless a new monetary sign was created, having two different currencies using the same symbol would cause confusion in the new American colony because people could not tell at a glance if prices were in US dollars or Philippine pesos.

So in his recommendations to US Congress, he devised a symbol using 'P' overstruck with '=' sign.
