In reply to the discussion: "Do you have a New Mexico passport?" [View all]Nevilledog
(51,055 posts)22. I also grew up in New Mexico.
When my sister and I were little we tried to become pen pals with kids that lived in Pennsylvania. I remember opening the envelope and having a nickel fall out. The accompanying letter asked if we could send them a coin from our country.
At least the post office knew where New Mexico was.... They always successfully delivered the letters to us from an aunt in Minnesota addressed to Albert Turkey, New Mexico.
