Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos 1878 coin from Bolivia made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. Bolivia was facing a severe economic crisis in the late 1800s, and the government was forced to introduce a new currency to address the issue. The 2 Centavos coin was part of this new currency system, and it was made of copper to reduce the cost of production and make it more accessible to the general population. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
