Interesting fact

The 1 Piso coin was introduced in 2003 and was the first coin in the Philippines to feature a magnetic core. This was done to help prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins. The magnetic core is made of a special alloy that is resistant to corrosion and has a high level of magnetism, which makes it easy to detect when passed through a magnetic field. This feature has helped to increase the security and authenticity of the coin, and has made it more difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins.
