Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Honduras, minted between 1919 and 1920, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper in coins has largely been discontinued in modern times due to its relatively low value and the risk of copper poisoning from prolonged exposure to the metal. Today, coins are typically made from more durable and less toxic materials like nickel, zinc, or stainless steel.
