Comment

5 and 10 centavos coins made of copper-nickel were introduced in 1936, possibly in an effort to change the composition of the cent coins. 

Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Centavo coin from Mexico, made of Copper-nickel and weighing 3g, has an interesting fact that it was minted in 1936, during the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas del Río, who was known for his efforts to promote economic and social reforms in Mexico.
