From 1821 until 1905.
A 1965 Mexican Peso is 10% silver (although mostly on the outside - the middle of the coin has basically no silver at all) and contains 0.0514 troy ounces of silver (about 65 US cents worth). Numismatically, the coin is worth about US$0.85 in Extremely Fine condition (very little wear) and about US$2.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
The Mexican Peso.
Most probably, at the airport. NO you cannot change it at the airport. I am asking this very same question. I do not know how to exchange mexican peso in Singapore at all.
No, the majority of them are genuine coins. Until 1967 the Mexican peso was partially silver (though, in 1967 it was only 10% silver) and all the peso coins dated 1967 and earlier contain some silver. Since a lot of them were made, most are not replicas and they are genuine coins. Since many of them were made and they aren't considered to be very attractive and rare coins, they are usually sold for little more than their silver content. Though there are a few replica pesos, the vast majority of them are genuine.
This coin is not very valuable at all. All coins in circulation are valued less than $1. A fully uncirculated coin is valued at $2.93.
A 1964 Mexican Peso is 10% silver (although mostly on the outside - the middle of the coin has basically no silver at all) and contains 0.0514 troy ounces of silver (about 65 US cents worth). Numismatically, the coin is worth about US$0.85 in Extremely Fine condition (very little wear) and about US$2.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
Nothing just like all things Mexican
Not at all. Both currencies are unique to each country and have distinct exchange rates (Jan 2010): 1 USD = 12.8399 Mexican Peso (MXN) 1 USD = 1,977.00 Colombian Peso (COP)
It is 90.3% silver and has .7859 troy ounces of silver. However, 1910-1914 Mexican pesos are collector coins with values that exceed bullion prices for all but the most worn examples. While they have less than $20 worth of silver in them, even worn coins can be worth $50 on eBay and values jump into the hundreds of dollars for better grade coins.
You are asking about the 1967 One Peso coin from Mexico (KM#459). 1967 was the final year that peso coins intended for circulation contained silver. The coins were, however, only 10% silver - while they weighed a fairly hefty 16.00 grams, they contained only about 0.0514 troy ounces of silver.
Your coin is made of stainless steel rather than silver. I'm afraid I have to inform you that you have an ordinary circulation coin. The Mexican peso is worth about 10¢ U.S. and there are 100 centavos in a peso, so a 10-centavo coin is only worth one U.S. penny.
As with any country there is real and then fake. I have been lucky I guess in buying Mexican Silver and it has all been real
