Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Venezuela, made of Copper and weighing 7.3g, has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1858, and its production continued until 1863, during which Venezuela experienced a civil war that lasted from 1859 to 1863. Despite the challenges, the coin remained in circulation and was an important part of the country's economy during that time.
