Interesting fact
The 1 Balboa coin from Panama, minted between 1981 and 1982, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.500), it weighs 20.74 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This is due to the coin's thickness, which is thicker than most coins. This unique feature makes it stand out among other coins and adds to its collectibility.
