Interesting fact

The 1 Sentimo coin from the Philippines, made of Aluminium and weighing 1.22g, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins introduced in 1979 to replace the previous coinage system that had been in use since 1949. This series of coins was designed to be more durable and practical for everyday use, and the 1 Sentimo coin was the lowest denomination in the series. Despite its small value, the coin was still widely used in the Philippines and remains a popular collector's item today.
