Comment
Previously KM#29Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Argentina, produced between 1957 and 1959, has a unique feature. It was made with a Nickel clad steel composition, which was a change from the previous bronze alloy used in earlier versions of the coin. This change in material was likely done to reduce the cost of production and increase the coin's durability. The use of Nickel clad steel also gave the coin a distinctive silver-gray color, which made it easily recognizable. This interesting fact highlights the evolution of coin production and the ways in which countries have adapted their currency to meet economic and practical needs.
