well not as good as the $1 ASEs i found before but in the same bin of Mardi Gras medallion style things i found two 25 peso coins from the 1968 mexican olympics both are .720 silver and each contain about a half troy ounce. haha not bad for a buck each.

Wave a magnet over those 25 Peso coins before you get too excited. I've come across a few stickers.

I've only ever found two US dimes and one Canadian. One of the US dimes had four notches cut in the edge for some sort of mounting.
