Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Centimes coin from Ville de Toufflers is that it was made of cardboard, which is a unique and unusual material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but during World War I, many countries, including France, experimented with alternative materials due to metal shortages. The cardboard used for these coins was likely made from recycled materials and was designed to be lightweight and durable. This coin is a rare example of a cardboard coin and is a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
