Interesting fact
The 10 Céntimos coin from the Municipality of Esparreguera in the Province of Barcelona, made of cardboard, is an interesting fact because it is not a traditional material used for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or zinc, but this one is made of a non-traditional material, cardboard, which is a sustainable and eco-friendly option. This choice of material may have been made to reduce the environmental impact of the coin's production or to promote sustainability in the region. It's a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins in circulation.
