Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Honduras, issued in 1857, is interesting because it was made of led copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of led copper in coins has largely been discontinued today due to the potential health risks associated with exposure to lead.
