Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Argentina, produced between 1951 and 1952, has a unique feature - it has a reeded edge. This means that the edges of the coin have a textured, ribbed pattern, which was a common feature on many coins produced during that time period. The reeding was added to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to tell genuine coins from fake ones.
