Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Chile, minted in 1835, was made of copper and had a unique feature - it had a thick planchet, which made it stand out from other coins of its time. The thick planchet was a result of the minting process, where the coin was struck multiple times to ensure that the details were properly imprinted on the coin. This process resulted in a thicker coin than usual, which has become a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
