Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Cuba, made of aluminum and weighing 1g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic hardship in Cuba, known as the "Special Period." This period was marked by a severe economic crisis and a lack of access to basic goods, and the production of coins like this one was a way for the government to maintain some level of economic stability. Despite the challenges, the coin still bears the iconic image of the Cuban revolutionary, Che Guevara, on one side, and the Cuban coat of arms on the other.
