CANADA TAKES GOLD AT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP (National Geographic)

MEXICO CITY (July 15, 2009)—Defeating teams from 14 other regions, Canada took
top honors at the ninth National Geographic World Championship held today at
the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The United States came
second, and Poland, just one point behind the United States, was third. This
is the second time Canada has won the geography competition. It was victorious
at the third National Geographic World Championship in 1997, when it beat
eight other teams in Washington, D.C.

The presenting sponsor of this year's international contest organized by the
National Geographic Society was Telmex Foundation, with supporting sponsorship
from the Mexican Academy of Sciences, CONACYT, JW Marriott Mexico City and
Televisa Foundation.

The Canadian team comprised Peter Brandt, 15, of Sainte Anne, Manitoba;
Christopher Chiavatti, 15, of Burnaby, British Columbia; and Graham Tompkins,
16, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The U.S. team members were Kenji Golimlim, 11,
of Southgate, Michigan; Milan Sandhu, 15, of Bedford, New Hampshire; and Eric
Yang, 13, of The Colony, Texas. Poland's team members were Piotr Byrski, 16,
of Łodygowice, Ślaskie; Wojciech Kaczmarczyk, 16, of Racibórz, Ślaskie; and
Gabriel Stachura, 16, of Lublin, Lubelskie.

Mexican Money???

I have a gold mexican coin that says $100 wat is it worth in american money (mint condition)
it is from 1895 and we r trying to sell it to a coin collecter

By any chance, is this the coin you have? (I know you followed up by stating its date was 1895, but I'm asking nonetheless for completeness, and in case that date might have been a typo.) This is the only 'gold-colored' Mexican coin I know that would have a denomination that literally reads "$100":

http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coin.php?image=img5/121-493&desc=Mexico%20km493%20100%20Pesos%20(1984-1992)%20Venustiano%20Carranza

If so, it's aluminum-bronze, not gold, and is worth about US 1 cent. That's because as Taiping points out, on January 1, 1993, Mexico devalued the Peso, making 1000 old Pesos worth just one new Peso. The coin pictured in the link above is an old 100 Pesos coin, worth 1/10 of a new Peso. The new Peso, in turn is worth about 9 or 10 US cents at current exchange rates.

These coins are also very common, and pretty much just worth a few cents to collectors in bulk lots of world coins.

To the best of my knowledge, there were not any old (e.g. 1800s) Mexican coins that used the '$' sign to indicate Pesos. There were some very old Spanish coins that used a similar symbol, some of which were used in Spanish colonial Mexico, but that symbol is clearly different:

One last thought: is it possible that the *coin* doesn't say "$100," but that is written on a holder? And could the date be 1865 (not 1895)?

If so, one possibility is that this might be - or be similar to - one of the tokens on this page:

Those are either not gold, or have a very minor gold content, and most usually sell for under $10 on eBay.
