Interesting fact
The ¼ Centavo coin from Venezuela, made of Copper and weighing 3g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil 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 means of stabilizing the country's economy. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the everyday transactions of Venezuelans during that time.
