Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 45 Centimos coin from Spanish notgeld (Spain) made of Cardboard is that it was used as a form of emergency currency during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The coin was issued by the Republican government in 1938, and it features a countermark on two brown centimos. The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a common practice during this period due to the scarcity of metals. Despite its low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
