Interesting fact

The 1000 Australes coin from Argentina, made of aluminum and weighing 2g, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins introduced in 1990 to replace the previous currency, the peso, in an effort to combat inflation. The coin's design features the national emblem of Argentina, the Sun of May, and the words "República Argentina" (Argentine Republic) on one side, and the denomination and year on the other. This coin was in circulation from 1990 to 1991, and although it is no longer in use, it remains a collectible item for numismatists.
