Mexican coins

[billionaire]

Hey guys i was wondering about what kinds of mexican coins are rare, collectable, or are made from precious metals. Im going on a little trip and i thought i would look through some of the change for something. Thanks

I always find them in the Coinstar reject slot or even in Tot-lots.

Silver was removed from all MX coinage in 1979.

10 new pesos 1992-1995, 0.17 oz ASW
20 new pesos 1993-1995, 0.25 oz ASW

both coins have a sterling silver center and a bronze ring

Many modern limited issues (250,000 pieces or less) were also minted by MX that contained silver (or gold), but I'd be very surprised if you found one in your 'change'.
