Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from El Salvador, minted in 1975, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of copper-nickel clad steel, the coin's edges are not smooth, but instead have a textured, reeded finish. This unique feature adds an extra layer of security against counterfeiting and makes the coin easily identifiable.
