Interesting fact
The 200 Réis coin from Brazil, minted between 1889 and 1900, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of copper-nickel, a non-ferrous alloy, it was designed with a distinctive square hole in the center, which was a unique feature for a coin at that time. This hole was intended to make it easier for people to recognize the coin and distinguish it from other coins in circulation. This feature, combined with its relatively small size and light weight, made it a convenient and practical coin for everyday transactions.
