Interesting fact

The 1 Centavo coin from Argentina, minted between 1945 and 1948, was made of copper and weighed 2 grams. Despite its small size and value, this coin has an interesting feature - it has a reeded edge, which means that the edges of the coin have a textured, ribbed pattern. This feature was added to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin more easily identifiable.
