John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/26/2012 12:48 pm 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? . 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. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/26/2012 1:13 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/01/2012 02:51 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
