Seriously? I used mexican pesos and 5-peso pieces for picks for a while because when I came back from doing some work in Mexico I had about 15 bucks in Mexican change and no real picks.

It works better than most people think, but it's probably better to chop quarters for picks than pesos because quarters aren't magnetic. The silver part of Mexican coins is.
