Interesting fact
The 25 Sentimos coin from the Philippines, made of copper-nickel and weighing 4 grams, is interesting because it was part of a series of coins introduced in 1979 to replace the previous coinage system that had been in place since 1949. This series of coins was designed to be more durable and practical for everyday use, and it featured a new design that showcased the country's rich cultural heritage and natural resources. The 25 Sentimos coin, in particular, features an image of a jeepney, a popular mode of public transportation in the Philippines, on its reverse side. This coin is a great example of how currency can serve not only as a medium of exchange but also as a reflection of a country's history and culture.
