<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 6601781, member: 12789"]Yes, Mexico used 10 and 20 Pesos in silver up until ca. 1995 or so, then the 50 and 100 peso until 2004. Silver had a low value then, but with the price increase the metal value exceeded the face value of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in 2000 I was buying up 100 FF coins in Paris banks for face value, the face value then exceeded the silver value. But they were somewhat large sized coins that were legal tender but didn't really circulate much and the banks were glad to get rid of them. Similarly in Germany years before I could still get 5 and 10 DM coins in silver because the face value was greater than the melt value. And I even spent a few in Munich.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
