Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Nicaragua, made of Aluminum in 1892, is interesting because it was minted during a time when Aluminum was still a relatively new and expensive metal, making it an unusual choice for coinage. This coin's unique composition and design make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
