chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 12/12/2008 5:31 pm Two different $20 pieces were issued in that year - the Señor del Fuego (Lord of the Fire) coin and the Octavio Paz coin. Not sure about the composition; the pill should be bronze-aluminum (Cu-Al-Ni) and the ring Cu-Zn-Ni. They may still be legal tender, but basically Mexico uses a polymer note for that denomination ...
