Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Guatemala is made of stainless steel, which is a corrosion-resistant material that is often used in the production of coins. However, what makes this coin unique is that it is also magnetic, which is a rare feature for coins. This is due to the addition of a small amount of nickel to the stainless steel alloy, which gives the coin its magnetic properties. This feature helps to distinguish the 5 Centavos coin from other coins in circulation and makes it easier to identify for both consumers and businesses.
