Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes coin from Commune of Saint-André-de-l'Eure (Department of Eure) made of Aluminium weighing 1.67 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when aluminum was a relatively new material in coin production. Aluminum was first used in French coinage in 1921, and it was a significant departure from the traditional metals like gold, silver, and copper that were commonly used in coinage at the time. The use of aluminum in coins was a result of the need for a more affordable and durable material due to the economic constraints of the post-World War I period. This coin is a unique example of how coinage has evolved over time, adapting to new technologies and materials to meet the needs of different eras.
