Mexico Bi-Metallic
April 24, 2008, 03:44:24 PM
I just reported under "Interesting Finds" the fact that a convenience store clerk gave (traded for a quarter) me a Mexico Five Peso Bi-Metallic coin, 2003.

It's not the first I've seen, since we have taken several trips to Mexico, and I have brought back a bunch of Mexican coins.

I have noticed the inner core (copper?) doesn't seem to wear very well, but the outer core (steel?) does wear well.

All in all, I think it's an attractive coin.

Since I probably have better than 100 of the Mexican coins, I suppose I should look for some kind of folder or album, and start some new collections.

Anybody know if there is a company which produces folders or albums for Mexican coins?

 :) :) :) :)

Gary, I can't help you with the albums.

I just wanted to say that Mexican coins are one of my favourites.
My collection has 98 coins so far.

The best I can offer anyone interested in Mexican coinage, is getting in touch with my friend Fernando Razo, at mexicancoinclub@yahoo.com .  He's always interested in Mexican coins and more specifically, getting more people to collect them. :)

Do add this coin to my collection?

Steve,

This promise can't be done in the near future, but I will gladly send you my duplicates when I find where I hid them away.

 :D :D :D :D

Steve,

Spring is clean-up time around here, and Pat and I are starting with the yards, and then we will move inside and get with it indoors.

There are two or three places my Mexican coins might be hiding.  I would guess I have probably 100 or so.  As stated, I'll mail you the duplicates.  It will still be a while, but I'll get it done.

 :) :) :) :)

Steve,

It's only been nine months, but I haven't forgotten you!!

Over the holidays the wife and I are going to do some cleaning, sorting, and so forth, and I'm sure we'll come across the Mexican coins.

Thanks for your patience.  I'll get them to you soon.  Really!!

 :) :) :) :)

Gary, I was always taught, that good things come to those that wait.

So no pressure, when ever.

Thanks.

Steve,

Just found a "like new" Mexican 2006 bi-metallic $2 peso in my Bermuda Shorts which I wore in Mexico.

Sat it aside for you, and I hope to add to the bi-metallic coins, and will send you all I locate.

Gary

 :) :) :) :)
