I just happened upon some Guatemala Quetzals, late '80's to early 2000's.
They're pretty heavy for their size and don't stick to a magnet.
Anybody know their composition?

There's profit if you melt things!!

In that time period some are silver and some are brass.

I don't see any Quetzal denominatios minted in the '80s

Could be 25 centavos, they were pretty big:
