Interesting fact
The 1 Franc coin from Togo was introduced in 1948, and it was the first coin to be made of aluminum. This was a significant change from the previous coins, which were made of bronze, silver, or gold. The use of aluminum made the coin lighter and less expensive to produce, making it more accessible to the general population. This change in material also marked a shift in the country's currency, as Togo began to move away from the traditional metal coins and towards more modern materials.
