Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from Mexico, produced between 1905 and 1914, has an interesting feature. It was made of silver (.800) and weighed 2.5 grams. That's fascinating! Most coins of that era were made of copper or nickel, and very few were made of silver. The fact that it was made of silver and had a relatively low weight makes it a unique and sought-after collector's item.
