Interesting fact
The ½ Decimo coin from Ecuador, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 7.0g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1884, and its production continued until 1886, during which time Ecuador was facing issues such as inflation, debt, and political unrest. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation and was widely used by the people of Ecuador, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of the Ecuadorian economy and population.
