Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Ecuador, made of Nickel clad steel and weighing 1.8 grams, is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in the country. In 1970, Ecuador was experiencing high inflation and economic instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Sucre, in 1972. Despite this change, the 5 Centavos coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of exchange for everyday transactions. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Ecuador during that time period.
