fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 10:44 pm On 03/31/2010 Banco de Mexico announced a new circulating coin. It is a circulating 20 Pesos bimetallic coin commemorating Mexico's Nobel Prize (Literature) winner. The coin commemorates Octavio Paz's 20th anniversary of his Nobel Literature Prize. The coin has the same dimensions as the previous issues. Copper-nickel center with a bronze ring. It's also 32mm. (BEFORE anyone comments-Those are not my fingernails.

I believe those fingernails belong to one of the FEMALE officials present at the ceremony) Edited by fcrazo 04/05/2011 10:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder who thought the three quarters view was better than a profile. A lot of countries are using it and I sure don't care for it. Report this Post to the Staff

fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 09:59 am Mexico really does know coins, they've been doing it for almost 500 years. They honor their heroes, the U.S. mint honors dead Presidents. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 11:14 am You got that right. One of these days we'll wake up and produce quality again. The State, ATB programs were a good start. We just didn't follow through. The ATB series especially should have been on the half dollar. We could have then prevented all those huge slugs from getting out. Report this Post to the Staff

fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 10:33 pm Yeah, the nails are nasty, but at least they get to hold the coin, as it seems all the collectible U.S. coins are slabbed and can't be touched. Nice coin, ugly nails. Report this Post to the Staff
