My sister just got back from a day trip to Mexico and brought me back some coins. One is a $5 coin with two different dates,2010 on the outer ring that looks doubled on the zeros (why did they do that)and the center is dated 2009. Is this normal? Mexican-Coins-Question Mexican-Coins-Question. Here is a list of the others, do any of them have any collector value: $5=2006,$2=2005 & 2010,$1=1997 & 2001 & 2007 & 2010. Thank you for the help.

I believe the coin was issued in 2009 but the occasion it commemorates is the centenary of Mexican revolution which happened in 2010. It happens quite a bit with Olympic coins when the coins struck a year or two earlier than the games.

About the "doubling" of zeros, looks like it's just the style.

Welcome to the community, phobos_gr!

Hey, that's very clever - making 20 in the date into 200 and 10 into 100. Now I see why just the zeros are doubled.

I don't think there is a collector premium unless the coins are gem.

@Harrison...is there a list of all of them? I was in the Yucatan a couple years ago and got about 20 different ones....I would love to finish the set.
