alot

20,000 dollar
A slightly more sophisticated version of the Magician's Coin. Will the Mexican coin come out of the half dollar?
Estados Unidos uses the United States Dollar (USD) as its official currency. The dollar is subdivided into 100 smaller units called cents. It is widely recognized and used internationally as a reserve currency. The symbol for the dollar is "$."
The value of 1857 unpeso Estados Unidos Mexicanos, or 1857 Mexican pesos, would depend on the current exchange rate between the Mexican peso and the US dollar. As of my last knowledge update, the exchange rate fluctuates, but you can find the most current value by checking a reliable financial news source or currency converter. Keep in mind that historical pesos may also carry collectible value depending on their condition and rarity.
The "$" sign on Mexican coins can be confusing. In the Mexican currency system the symbol refers to pesos rather than dollars. At the exchange rate in effect as of 11/2013, it's worth about 38 US cents.
A .20 estados unidos mexicano coin is worth about, well, nothing. If you have five of them, you could buy a piece of gum.
Runaway inflation during the 1980s reduced the value of the peso to almost nothing. Mexico was forced to withdraw its old currency and replace it with "new pesos" in 1992 and 1993. Unfortunately the old pesos traded at about 10,000 to the dollar so 1000 old pesos are worth around a dime.
You are asking about a coin from Mexico ("ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS" is Spanish for the "United Mexican States", Mexico's official name) dated 1993, but you would need to know the denomination and condition to value it. Denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 Centavos, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 Pesos were produced in 1993. None of the centavo coins are worth more than a dollar or so even in uncirculated condition, although the 1, 2, and 5 peso coins may be worth a couple of dollars even in Extremely Fine (that is, slightly circulated) condition. The 10, 20, and 50 Peso coins are bi-metallic, with silver in the center, so they will have value as silver separate and apart from the numismatic or exchange value.
Due to a 1992 monetary reform in Mexico that made 1000 old Pesos equal to 1 New Peso the 1988 5000 Pesos is worth about .50 in the U.S. (1 Peso = ~10c U.S.). You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
