You have to know what country issued the coin or bill, and what its date is. To explain, over half a dozen countries have currency called the peso but they have different conversion rates versus the US dollar. In addition many of them have revalued their pesos (sometimes more than once) so you need to know what the exchange rate was at the time the currency was issued. For example, Mexican pesos issued before 1993 are worth only one one-thousandth (1/1000) of current pesos!
While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the internet", that's the best approach in this case to get a specific answer. xe.com is one of the better sites for finding exchange values at different dates.

In perfect uncirculated condition, this coin is worth about $1.75 to a collector.
Probably not much considering how pesos do not have a very high conversion rate in the US, I would say that its worth about $.79 which isn't very much considering the amount of of pesos you would have to get to hit one dollar it isn't really worth it to try to convert Mexican Pesos to US Dollars,(by the way Columbian Pesos have an even worse conversion to US).
Diez translated means ten. So, it's worth 10 pesos. Your answer is in your question. Also the year in which it was minted is irrelevant. However if what you need is the 'American dollar' value the exchange rate need be applied. Today's Exchange rate is what? 1/100. If my estimated exchange rate is accurate, 10 Pesos equals 10 U.S. cents.
