Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from El Salvador, minted in 1911, is interesting because it was made of silver (.835) and weighed 2.50 grams. This is notable because it was a time when many coins were transitioning from silver to other metals, and it's unusual to find a coin from this time period that still contains a significant amount of silver. Additionally, the fact that it's a standard circulation coin means that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a unique piece of history.
