Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Mexico, issued between 1882 and 1883, has an interesting feature. It was made of copper-nickel, a metal alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was one of the first coins to use a new method of manufacturing called "milled coinage." This method involved using a machine to cut grooves into the coin's surface, creating a smooth edge and a more uniform shape. This innovation made the coin easier to produce and harder to counterfeit, and it became a standard practice in coinage for many countries.
