Interesting fact
The 1 Dinero coin from Peru, made of Silver (.900) and weighing 2.5g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Peru's monetary system. In 1863, the country adopted a new currency system based on the silver standard, and the 1 Dinero coin was one of the first coins minted under this new system. This coin was used widely in circulation until 1877, when it was replaced by a new coin with a different design. Despite its relatively short time in circulation, the 1 Dinero coin remains a popular collector's item today, sought after by numismatists for its historical significance and rarity.
