Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes coin from Commune of Soulac-sur-Mer (Department of Gironde) made of Aluminium weighing 1.37 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when aluminum was a relatively new material in coinage, and its use in coins was not yet widespread. The fact that it was used in a standard circulation coin speaks to the innovative spirit of the Commune of Soulac-sur-Mer and its willingness to experiment with new materials in coin production.
