Interesting fact

The 10 Réis coin from Portugal, minted during the reign of João V (1723-1737), is interesting because it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, yet it was still used as a standard circulation coin. This suggests that the coin was intended for everyday transactions and was widely used among the general population, despite being made of a material that was not as valuable as other metals like gold or silver.
