Rocky in my change today

[Beans]

Received a Balboa in my change today. The Balboa is from Panama and the exchange rate is 1:1 so only worth a quarter. Date of the Balboa is 1980, still nothing special just a little different.

I get them frequently in my boxes..maybes it's because I'm 15 minutes away from the border?

15 minutes away from the Panamanian border? They are Panamanian, not Mexican. The ones that have a silver edge are 90% or 40% silver.

It is,. when it is a whole Balboa. This one is a 1/4 balboa.

Beans,

You mean you got a Spanish conquistador in change:

different for sure, since you can't detect the modern panamian coins edge checking, I am sure we all pass through quite a lot of them...
