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, resistance to corrosion, and affordability. The use of copper in coinage dates back to ancient times, and it continues to be used in some coins today.
