Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Venezuela, made of Copper and weighing 11.4g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1843, just a few years after Venezuela had gained independence from Spain, and it was meant to help stabilize the country's economy. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was widely used and remained in circulation until 1852. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into Venezuela's rich history and economic development.
