Comment
Supposedly, the year 1992 never existed. No traces were found by Ecuadorian collectors. The national catalogue of Ecuadorian coins says that there's no possibility of any coins minted in 1992.Interesting fact
The 1 Sucre coin from Ecuador, minted between 1988 and 1990, has a unique feature. It's not its design or the fact that it's made of nickel-plated steel. Instead, it's the coin's weight that sets it apart. It weighs a mere 3 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time. This is interesting because most coins of similar denominations and materials usually weigh more. The 1 Sucre coin's light weight makes it stand out, and it's a fun fact that collectors and numismatists might find intriguing.
