I went through the junk bin at the coin store today and found 3 silver Mexican coins for 8 cents a piece:
1960 Un Peso 1947 Un Peso 1947 Un Peso
SELLING COPPER PENNIES 1.4X FACE SHIPPED......“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principles of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale” Thomas Jefferson
1947 Un Peso 0.2250 oz silver each and 1960 0.0514 oz silver

I don't care for stuff with that low of a purity, but you can't complain about "free" silver!
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world. -Caxton's edition of Aesop's Fables, 1484
