Comment
3,500,000 of the issue was minted in 1942 and 6,500,000 was minted in 1943.Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Bolivia, minted in 1942, is interesting because it was made of zinc, which is a relatively rare metal for coins. Most coins are made of copper, nickel, or silver, but zinc was used for this particular coin likely due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 1.75 grams makes it stand out from other coins of similar denomination, which typically weigh less.
