patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 02/26/2010 5:21 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 03/10/2010 4:22 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 7:23 pm 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 ...

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 03/20/2010 7:56 pm Thanks for that website! And many can be had in circulation. If you're driving through any toll booths they should have some anyways. Report this Post to the Staff
patrick Pillar of the Community United States 560 Posts	Posted 03/22/2010 01:05 am 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.... Report this Post to the Staff
fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 03/26/2010 9:22 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
