I assume you know but that dollar sign is not the same as our dollar sign. From what I saw that is a 20 peso coin. There is one on Ebay now going for $1.00 (plus .69 cents shipping). Last time I was in Mexico the peso was about equivalent to a dime, so that would be a $2.00 US, looks like right now it's about half that. Either way Coinstar gives up the goods from time to time.

Very cool, I also recently got my first coinstar find. I didn't report it here though as it was a 1996 zincoln.

This coin is no longer legal currency in Mexico- the 1985 $20pesos became worth only 2 Mexican cents in 1993 when they reset their currency and knocked three decimal places off their money. So the $1000peso coins became worth only $1peso... everyone traded in their bills & coins for new currency.
Pretty neat collector-score though - those "old peso" coins are tough to come by nowadays since they aren't in circulation...
I found a Mexican new $1peso coin and British 1penny in the CoinStar today along with a clad dime.
