Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from Brazil, produced between 1967 and 1970, has a unique feature - it is non-magnetic. This is because it is made of a copper-nickel alloy, which does not contain any iron, making it non-magnetic. This is different from many other coins, which often contain iron and are therefore magnetic.
