There are Mexican and Central American coins all over the place up here in NY. Alomost every time I go to the grocery store I find a few in the Coinstar machine. Soccer fields are the prime spot for finding them detecting. I had accumulated over 3 pounds of modern Mexican coins and recently eBayed them. I would have gladly given them to any illegal alien as long as they promised to take them back across the Rio Grande with them.

Chris

I would have given them to you too.

In the county in Fl. where I live there was a very healthy Mexican population. Most of the coins I got down there were Caribbean coins, not Mexican. I would find that stuff in my change.

Down here in south Texas we find loads of them, from 1935 silver 5 centavos to 1000 pesos coins.

I have 12 coins. Cant remember how or where when I acquired them. 11 are copper Centavo coins. Dating 40s 50s and 2 are 1960. The other is a 1960 1 peso which supposed to have a small percentage of silver. These are circ. with the Peso having a banged up edge. Would rather trade all for a silver dime or a couple indian heads in good legible cond. At least close to good cond. and up. Im not looking investment coins just the kind I like to save. If Hes interested let me know and I get a better description what each is and cond.

I have a friend who manages a bar at a horse show facility. As you might imagine, 99.4% of the stable workers were not born in this country. He brings me baggies of change from all over the place on a weekly basis. Many are Eastern Carribean but most are Guatamala. These guys make decent money. I know this because I know a few high school kids that do it too. Why they still carry around money from their country is beyond me. I think what it really indicates is that the influx of new illegals is larger than anybody is willing to admit. It depresses the hell out of me.

No coin in particular. If you could post photos I could forward them.
He's not a metal detectionist, just likes collecting old and new
spanish coins.

[robert roy]

Thanks for all your responses.
He doesn't metal detect, though I'm trying to get him interested.
He's too busy running a real estate office with his wife and operating
an apartment building (where I happen to live).
I think once he see's the resaponses I printed off he might
join the forum just to see whats its all about and can contact
everyone individually.

Heres what I got if interested. Pic 1 is one peso 1960. pic 2 is 5 cinco cetavos 1958-60 pic 3 is 1955 cicuenta cetavos and 44,57 20 centavos. pic 4 is 43,44,55 cinco centavos . These dont mean a lot to me so Id trade all 12 for a silver us dime.
