Interesting fact
The ½ Centavo coin from Venezuela, made of Copper and weighing 6g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1843, just a few years after Venezuela had gained independence from Spain, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1852. Despite its relatively short time in circulation, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
