Are Mexico un peso silver?
Yes, there are many silver Mexican coins, however, when compared to other countries, Mexico used lower purity silver in their more modern coins and often times different coins had different cut-off dates for silver. For example, until 1918, Mexican Peso coins were made out of 90.3% silver, in 1918 that was reduced to 80% silver, in 1920 it was reduced again to 72% silver, in 1947 it was reduced yet again to 50% silver, in 1950 it was reduced to 30% silver, and in 1957 the coin was only 10% silver until 1970 when it was replaced with a copper-nickel coin containing no silver. Mexico also has many modern bullion coins struck in silver.
