Interesting fact
The 2 Cruzeiros coin from Brazil, minted between 1957 and 1961, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of aluminum (99.5%), it still has a distinctive golden color due to the addition of a small amount of other metals (0.5%). This unique coloration sets it apart from other coins made of pure aluminum, which tend to have a more silver-like appearance.
