johanson Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I still have one of the older 20 peso coins. They are nice, but the new one looks even nicer on the screen.. I am looking forward to getting some new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 This is a dumb idea. Twenty peso coins are heavy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 The idea is to replace non durable paper with durable coins in the most heavily circulated denominations. The U.S. should do this with the devalued buck. I like the idea and it is a handsome coin IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 LOL! I hate going to Canada and receiving loonies and toonies for change. I try to dump them as often as I can because, not only are they heavy, but, as coin, they cannot be exchanged into another currency. Anyway, I believe the 20 peso notes are mostly plastic anyway. Whatever, they'll try it again, like they have before. I'll just dump them quickly. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 They are made of a multitude of metals; no plastic at all. Now if Mexico would just stop minting centavos; what a bunch of worthless coins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudgirl Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Ferret, I agree, I hate the coins because they are heavy, and I know I accidentally paid out some 20 peso coins in the past instead of 10s because they were so similar. I do like coins aesthetically, though. They feel more like something valuable than plastic bills 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addtocart Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 You'll still get a pocketful of 5 peso coins as change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I have three 1 peso Mexican coins, two of which are dated 1971 and the third dated 1974 I have one 5 peso coin which is dated 1978 And one 50 peso coin dated 1984. They are all quite large and of course, very heavy. Thank God they don't use them any more. Changing countries. Did you know that Canada gave up the penny several years ago? That's right. No more pennies in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
