I'm going to be in Sonora, Mexico in mid-March and had a couple questions. I'm flying into Cd. Obregon and then driving to Alamos. I realize it's a long shot but does anyone know of coin shops/dealers in this part of the country?

I've been to Alamos several times in the past but it was before I got into collecting Mexican coins. I know this was the site of a mint and there's a lot of silver mining history there. Does anyone know if the mint building is still there and if there are tours, etc? Any coin related sites I shouldn't miss?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Don't miss your chance to grab $5 peso coins from 2008-present. There are tons of designs and they're not even publicized by the Mexican mint.

The Spanish version of Banco De Mexico website is more up to date than the English version. Try the banxico.org.mx site for the more up to date of the site.

Right, they are all listed there.
Heroes of the Independence: http://www.banxico.org.mx/billetes-...rativas.html
Figures of the Revolution: http://www.banxico.org.mx/billetes-...rativas.html

Now how many of those can be found in circulation is a different issue ...

Thanks for that website! And many can be had in circulation. If you're driving through any toll booths they should have some anyways.

Great links - thanks everyone!

I'll look for the new 5$ coins. I'll have to stop into a couple banks and see if they have any on hand. I'd better brush up on my Spanish - it's been a while since I've had to practice....

Be careful in Sonora, the small towns are basically controlled by the drug traffickers. I know from my personal experience while driving through northern Coahuila, Mexico. It's sad but frightening.
