Interesting fact
The 1942 20 Centésimos coin from Uruguay was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the country. Uruguay was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the coin's unusual composition of silver (.720) and low weight of 3 grams. This was a departure from the usual copper or nickel coins that were commonly used at the time. Despite these unusual features, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
