You have what are known as "old pesos". In January 1993, the Mexican government introduced the new peso, worth 1,000 of the old pesos and divided into 100 centavos, to simplify foreign exchange. Current exchange rates are based on these "new pesos". Your old pesos have become essentially worthless for exchange. You'll find them in coin dealer miscellaneous foreign coin bins for 5/$1.00 As far as the exchange rate, I believe your total of 1660 old centavos would be roughly 4 cents US. Even if you had a reasonable total amount for exchange, if is impossible to exchange coins from another country.
A coin it has a 2 with a con top of the 2 it is an Estados Unidos Mexicanos coin?
Please look at the coin again to find the name of the country. All modern Mexican coins prominently show the country's name (Estadios Unidos Mexicanos, as you correctly surmised)

"Cincuenta" is spanish for "fifty" - you would need to know the country of issue and the condition of the coin in order to judge its value.
How much is a Mexican coin worth from 1996?
Face value. The Mexican peso (denoted using the same "$" sign as a U.S. dollar) is worth about 10c U.S. so simply divide its denomination by 10.
Is a 1934 Mexican peso worth anything?
I was looking up the same question. Check out: http://www.collecting-coin.org/search Apparently, the value would depend on both silver content and whether or not worn/ circulated. Looks like it could range from about US $1.00 (10X exchange rate) up to around US $8.00 if "brilliant uncirculated." I supposedly have the peso John Huston gave to Humphrey Bogart in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre." At least that's what the guy I got it from said, so I guess if they only did one take it might be worth more, unless Bogart kept messing up the scene so he could cadge more pesos.

What is value of 1897 Mexican silver coin?
Many of these coins are valued at a price close to $10 each. The exact price will depend upon the condition of each coin.
If it's a gold coin, then it depends on the size and date. Re-ask the question specifying all the wording on both sides of the coin. If it's not gold, it has very little value -- these are often found in dealers' miscellaneous foreign bins for 25 cents or less.
When did they stop putting silver in Mexican coins?
It really depends. A quick guide of them are:
US: pre-1964 dimes, quarters and half dollars are 90% silver. Half dollars struck 1965-1970 are 40% silver.
UK: pre-1920 coinage is sterling (92.5% silver) 1920-1946 coinage is 50% silver.
Australia: Pre-1945 is sterling, 1945-1963 are 50% silver, the 1966 50 cent coin is 80% silver.
Canada: pre-1920 is sterling, 1920-1967 is 80% silver, 1967-1968 is 50% silver (HOWEVER, some 1968 coins are magnetic and 100% nickel. Check all 1968 coins with a magnet! Many are not silver!)
What is the value of a 1865 maximillian gold Mexican peso?
I was checking for this as well and this is the best site I could find so far http://ca.four.ebid.net/perl/auction.cgi?auction=1218890332-32343-0&mo=auction It seems we are talking 1/2 gram of various gold composition (14k to 22k) so maybe 1/100th an ounce of gold which is about 8 dollars just in gold composition.
What does a 1000 mil pesos look like?
About 14 different countries use 'Peso' as their unit of currency and the value would depend on the age and condition, so this question is impossible to answer accurately. The 'Mil' in the value just means 1000.
If the note is from Mexico and from about 1985, then a mint condition note would be worth $2 to a banknote collector. A modern, 2002 or later, Mexican 1000 Peso note in any condition is worth $78 in any bank.
What is the value of an 1892 Mexican N1 coin?
I think you need to double-check that date -- it should be 1982 -- Mexico was a republic in 1882. Unless the coin says onza plata pura (1 ounce pure silver), it's value is negligable -- maybe a couple cents. An onza is currently worth about $10.00 The coin you have is : = REPUBLICA Mexico 1882 LIBERTAD .8R .Z .1882. J. S. 10D. 20G. COIN. It is 46.5% silver and today is worth about 10US Dollars = = ********* = = Pls reference this web site: = = http://www.identificacion-numismatica.com/otras-incluso-extranjeras-f6/r-mexicana-8-reales-1882-t22318.htm = = According to this site, the 10D 20G refers to the purity, where 12D is pure silver and each D equals 24G. = = So, the coin weighs about 27 grams, or about 2/3 of a troy ounce, and is about 90% pure. =
