Interesting fact

The 2 Centimos coin from the Town of Malolos (Philippine notgeld) made of Copper is a rare and unique coin, as it was produced during a brief period of time when the Philippines was under American rule, and it features a small date on the obverse side, which is different from the standard large date found on other coins of the same denomination.
