Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2275322, member: 69760"]But seriously... why? Currency exchanges may have a slight impact, but it doesn't explain the drastic difference between the US dollar and the Peso. If you just look at the supply and demand figures between those two nations, it appears clear cut. However, include some of the other major 1 oz silver round issuing nations into the mix, and the data gets more confounded. I suspect that the supply of Mexico's Libertad is being artificially restricted. For the 1 oz 0.999 silver rounds, the mintage (for all mint locations) & lowest eBay buy it now price by a major coin dealer are as follows: - Canada Maple Leaf: 29,245,000  |  $20.25- Australia Kangaroo:  **N/A  |  $20.50- Great Britain Britannia:  *1,000,000  |  $20.69- US ASE:  *44,006,000  |  $20.75- Mexico Libertad:  903,000  |  $24.02 *2014 figure since 2015 data is not yet available**Recent mintage info is not readily/easily available; though the Perth Mint advertises an unlimited mintage, the available info from 2011 suggests that the mintage for any single coin type has never met or exceeded 1,000,000. Advertised as 0.9999 silver purity.[/QUOTE]
