Interesting fact
The 2 Pesetas (Granadella) ND coin from the Municipality of La Granadella in the Province of Lleida, made of plastic (opaque celluloid), is interesting because it is one of the few coins in the world that has been made using this material. Plastic coins were introduced in Spain in the 1970s as a cost-saving measure, but they were not widely used and are now considered a novelty among collectors.
