Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Costa Rica, made of Aluminum in 1892, is interesting because it was minted during a time when Aluminum was still a relatively new and expensive metal, and its use in coinage was not yet widespread. This makes the coin a unique and rare example of early Aluminum coinage.
