Interesting fact

The 10 Centésimos coin from Uruguay, made of Nickel brass and weighing 4.5 grams, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center. This hole was added to the coin's design to help distinguish it from other coins in circulation, particularly the 100 Centésimos coin, which is similar in size and weight. The hole also makes the coin easier to handle and stack, and it has become a distinctive feature of Uruguayan coins.
