The 1982 50 Centavos from Mexico is made of copper-nickel. The nickel gives it the silver color. The 1982 did not have a very high mintage but is a coin found in dealers world coin boxes for .25 cents. Maybe a lot were saved when people saw the mintage was a 100 million less than the year before. That has happened to U.S. coins also, the 1950-D nickel is an example.

no, they stopped using silver for their regular coins in the 1950's, its probably iron if its heavy or steel if its light
