Value of 1985 Mexico silver 1oz coin?
You didn't say what the 50 stands for - pesos (using a $ sign, like a U.S. dollar) or centavos.
Either way, its value is very low. Mexico's currency was affected by severe inflation during the 1980s and the value of the peso fell to about 1/100 of a U.S. cent. The current peso is a so-called "new peso" worth 1000 old ones. That means your coin is worth 0.05 new pesos, and at current exchange rates one new peso is about a dime.

Which two peninsulas form part of the west coast of Mexico?
There are two large peninsulas on the Gulf of Mexico, facing Cuba:
The Yucatan Peninsula, located on southeastern Mexico, is a triangular peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. With a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), it is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes. It is a place known for being home of the ancient Mayan civilization, with beautifull remains of cities such as Chichen Itza and Tulum; however many of these ruins are covered by the thick vegetation that characterizes the region. It is also believed that the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the peninsula, is the site of the crater impact that killed the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. There are three federal states on this peninsula: Campeche (capital: Campeche), Yucatan (capital Merida) and Quintana Roo (capital Chetumal). Some of the most important cities include Campeche (791,322), Merida (734,153) and Cancun (526,701).
The Florida Peninsula, located on southeastern United States, is a panhandle-shaped peninsula that extends along the northern Gulf of Mexico. With a dry subtropical climate (Köppen Csb), it is mostly flat land composed of limestone, where most water comes from sinkholes and lakes. Discovered by Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513, he baptized Florida in honor to the Pascua Florida (Flowery Easter). It is now home to landmarks such as the Kennedy Space Center or Walt Disney World, near Orlando. All Florida peninsula falls within the boundaries of the US state of Florida, and some of the most important cities on the peninsula would be Miami (4,919,036), Tampa (2,062,339) and Orlando (1,157,431).

Answer:
The gusher is estimated by the quasi-official Flow Rate Technical Group to be flowing at 35,000 to 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day (wikipedia.org). There are 42 gallons in a barrel, so that's 1.5 to 2.5 million gallons per day.
BP has stated that it is impossible to precisely know the amount of oil that is flowing. There is no place on the well to install a gauge. However, a task force has been established to estimate the volume of oil spilled in the gulf.

How much is it worth in Mexico a madero 500?
Silver bullion comes in many forms, bars and rounds that have Santa on then to coins from different countries backed by there currency. Many investers look for the latter for the idea of the secondary value if silver ever crashed. With that said condition is king along with availability and demand. Silver spot price per ounce is the starting point for value then you add going rate for that coins premium usually a couple dolars above silvers price for the demand, condition, and the purity that country refined the coin to, I.E..999 or .9999 percent pure. I am not sure but unless the coin is untouched and "proof", it is just a few dollars above silvers price for the amount of silver in the coin.

Why do Mexicans make fun of Americans?
As new immigrants have entered the US, the people already living here have always been unwelcoming to them. The Irish faced discrimination in the 1800's the Italians and eastern Europeans in the early 1900's; the Jews into the 1930's, etc. Once the groups assimilated the ethnic discrimination died down. The main difference with previous immigration and Mexicans is the fact that they have retained their native language and to an extent culture for a longer period of time.
This leads to the xenophobic reactions from many Americans.
A bit more:
The above answer tends to lump all Americans into one big racist group. I am not racist to those of Mexican heritage, or to those of any heritage or race. And I know my family and friends feel the same way. To put all Americans in the same group with those who are racist is not accurate, nor is it fair.
I detest racism, bigotry, and prejudice in any form, and will not tolerate it from anyone. All people, no matter what race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. are equal. So I, and many, many other Americans, are not in that group, and don't want it to be said that we are.
As to the Americans who are racist towards Mexicans, I don't think it's the race they have a problem with, but more the illegal Mexican immigrants than the race itself.
But, sadly, there are some who are prejudiced against all other races, nationalities, and religions. And there simply is no good reason for it.
Dr arnoldo portillo in progreso Mexico?
The man and his staff are fabulous. My husband has had four root canals and crowns done there over the years and they have never caused him any trouble later. Now I am going down next week for a root canal. Dr. Portillo does not do the root canal part...he brings in a specialist or sometimes has a specialist on staff, but you can bank on his work. He has never, ever tried to run up a bill on us like another dentist in Progresso did. When we went to another guy, he told us that the three of us who were there together all needed 5, 6, or 7 fillings. We all then went to our USA dentists and not a one of us had a cavity. we didn't go to Portillo that day because we didn't have appts and he was too busy.

This makes no sense, but I think you mean if with an expired passport you can travel from Mexico to New Mexico or vice versa.
