Interesting fact

The ¼ Real "Quarto/Quartilla" coin from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was commonly used for coinage in the 19th century, but is now largely replaced by more durable and resistant materials like nickel and cupro-nickel.
