Composition of the 1970 to 1982 Mexcian Peso?

Postby barrytrot » Thu Mar 31, 2011 2:37 pm

My "World Coins" book just says "Copper/Nickel".

Anyone know the exact breakdown?

I didn't see it mentioned at all on http://currencydebasement.com/

That's pretty close to enough.

Although I like to make spreadsheets with exact numbers in them, so if anyone finds the actual percent copper / percent nickel I would appreciate it!

CuNi is almost always 75/25 I thought.

For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world
