Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Honduras, issued in 1851, has an interesting feature. It was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. Specifically, it contains 10% silver and 90% copper. This composition was used to reduce the cost of producing the coin, as silver was a more expensive metal at the time. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
