I remember the big silver one peso coins, resembling a silver dollar, back in the 60s. Now, found only in jewelry and coin shops...

My father used to travel regularly to Japan during the 50's/60's/70's on business.He used to joke that when doing a currency exchange it would have been "easier to weigh it than count it".The Yen was all but worthless back then.Looks like the two currencies have been on different trajectories in recent years.

I have a 25 peso commemorative in my collection, from 1968. It's only about 70% silver.
