Mexican Gold Returns Home At Long Last
In Laredo on November 16, 330 Mexican gold coins were returned to Mexico after a year-long dispute. The coins worth 75 dollars each on the Havana black market were seized in Miami when a storm forced a plane to land there. US customs released the coins under export conditions after a legal fight. Mexican officials immediately took possession, while the owner holds a court order from Nuevo Laredo restraining seizure.
