JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 7:07 pm Before the revaluation of the peso, that coin was worth 3.333 cents. When revaluation occurred, the exchange rate was roughly 3000 pesos to the dollar, so they just took 3 zeros off. The coinage was demonetized at revaluation Edited by JMerrick 12/31/2010 7:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 10:27 pm So now this coin is worth basically melt. Or something to prop up a table leg with. In Mexico, $ = peso; ¢ = centavo. Devaluation was on January 1, 1993. Report this Post to the Staff
JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 12/31/2010 11:19 pm You couldn't give the $100 coin away if you tried. Now, way back when, when I was a starving college student, I would buy the old 1 peso coins by the bag, and sell them to other students at 10 for a buck. They worked great in the laundry machines on campus, and off.... I hated having pockets of those bleeping $100's. They're heavy, and people loved to give you piles of 'em in change. I just checked. The peso traded at 3119.15 pesos to the dollar on the day before revaluation. Edited by JMerrick 01/01/2011 12:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
