Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from the State of Durango, Mexico, issued in 1914, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it weighs 2.8 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size and denomination. This suggests that the coin may have been designed to be more durable and long-lasting, possibly to withstand the rigors of heavy use in everyday transactions.
