Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Costa Rica, made of Copper-nickel in 1892, is interesting because it was never officially released into circulation. Instead, it was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design that was never adopted. This makes it a rare and unique piece among coin collectors.
