Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Mexico, produced between 1867 and 1869, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.903), it was designed with a unique weight of 1.353 grams, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for coins of its size and composition. This unusual weight may have been intended to make the coin more durable or to distinguish it from other coins in circulation.
