Another floor find since finding Mexican coins in my change is difficult around here. This one seemed to be tossed to a corner when I found it. Mexican money gets less respect than Canadian money here in the U.S.
One side has the date, the denomination, and the Mo mint mark from the Mexico City Mint. It has some designs typical of ancient Mexico. The other side has the national arms which is an eagle holding a snake on top of cactus. Estados Unidos Mexicanos is United States (of) Mexico which is the old name of Mexico, it should be just Mexico now.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 10 Centavos / Mexico
Year: 2001
Mintage: 618,061,000
Metal: 100% Stainless Steel
Value: $0.10 in Very-Fine

Just to clarify, "United Mexican States" isn't an old name, it's the official name of the country, just like the official name of the US is United States of America, or the official name of France is French Republic.

For now but in 2012 they President of Mexico decided to change it to just Mexico.
While it has not passed both houses in Mexico the change is expected to come through.
