Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Cuba, made of Aluminium and weighing 1.25g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic struggle for the country. In the late 1980s, Cuba was facing a severe economic crisis due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, its main trading partner. The government was forced to introduce a new currency, the Convertible Peso, to attract foreign investment and stabilize the economy. Despite these challenges, the 10 Centavos coin remained in circulation and was a symbol of the country's resilience and determination to overcome adversity.
