Shorted $1 in a roll, got these, silver?

Got these two pesos awhile back in a roll of halves. They have reeded edge, magnet does not stick. Anyone know what the composition of these coins are? (Before I throw 'em away, lol)? Thanx, FFD

I throw all my foreign coins into a jar, they are pretty neat to look at, don't take up much space. And hey they all actually cost me face of what they were stuffed in with

Not only to they lack any intrinsic metal value, ...........

If you happen have coins that are from 1970 to 1992, they are out of circulation, and have no value. In 1993, Mexico issued "Nuevo" pesos (new pesos) in order to stem inflation, and the last two zeros were removed from the value - in other words, an "old" peso coin with a face value of $1000 was worth what a $10 nuevo peso coin is worth today. Currency from this time period is very common, and is no longer accepted for exchange. The only value of Mexican currency from 1970-1992, should you happen to have some, is as a souvenir or novelty.
