<p>[QUOTE="Augustine1992, post: 1228374, member: 30585"]Back about 6-7 years ago I received a mexican coin from a friend who visited Mexico. This was WAAYYY before I was into coin collecting. Unfortunately I lost it, and havent seen it since. Well today I found it. I was going through my crawl space looking through all my old toy boxes from when I was a kid, just to see what kind of interesting stuff was down there. I came to one of the last boxes and found all kinds of things like old transformers, power rangers, and even my old Super Nintendo system. I was just about to put everything back when I saw a coin sitting at the bottom of the box. I grabbed it and to my surprise it was the coin that my friend gave me. Now, after all these years I still have no idea what to call it. It has a picture of a dragon on the obverse and it says $5. At the bottom it has the date 1980. On the reverse it has what looks like another dragon with a snake in its mouth, and says ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. I think its like 5 pesos or something? I dont know the denominations in Mexico so thats my guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I just thought I'd share my highlight of the day. Hopefully it didnt bore you lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
