Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Durango, Mexico, issued in 1914, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability, affordability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were meant to be used extensively in daily transactions. The use of copper in coinage also gave the coins a distinctive reddish-brown color that was easily recognizable and helped to distinguish them from other denominations. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the 5 Centavos coin from Durango has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
