Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos 1924 coin from Ecuador made of Copper-nickel is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in the country. Ecuador was facing high inflation and currency devaluation, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the sucre, in 1924. Despite this, the 5 Centavos coin continued to be used as legal tender until 1932, when it was replaced by a new coin with a different design and composition. This coin's design features the Ecuadorian coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other, and its copper-nickel composition was a common choice for coins at the time due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.
