Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Argentina, minted between 1881 and 1883, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.900), it was designed with a unique rim that appears to be made of a different metal, giving the coin a distinctive "two-tone" look. This feature was intentionally added to the coin's design to help prevent counterfeiting.
