Interesting fact

The 10 Australes coin from Argentina, made of aluminum and weighing 2 grams, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins introduced in 1985 to replace the earlier peso currency. The coin's design features the national emblem of Argentina on one side and the denomination on the other. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a cost-saving measure, and it was the first time that a coin of this denomination had been made from a base metal rather than a precious metal.
