Interesting fact

The 20 Centimos coin from Spanish notgeld (Spain) made of Cardboard weighing 0.5 g is a rare and unique coin, as it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Spain and was made of a non-traditional material, cardboard, which was used as a substitute for metal coins due to the shortage of metals during the civil war.
