Interesting fact
The 2 Centimos coin from Spanish notgeld (Spain) made of Cardboard weighing 0.5 g is a rare and unique coin, as it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Spain, specifically during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a result of the shortage of metals during this period, and it's one of the few examples of a coin made from a non-metallic material.
