Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from Mexico, minted between 1898 and 1905, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.903), it was designed with a unique shape, known as a "round-square" or "square-round" shape, where the coin has a circular outline but a square interior. This distinctive shape was used to differentiate the coin from other silver coins in circulation at the time.
