Interesting fact
The 25 Centavos coin from Mexico, produced between 1950 and 1953, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of Billon, a metal alloy composed of copper, nickel, zinc, and silver, the coin weighs only 3.33 grams. This is noteworthy because coins made of similar materials and size usually weigh more. The coin's relatively low weight can be attributed to the specific proportions of metals used in its composition.
