Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, issued in 1915, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used for currency during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for currency was gradually phased out in the early 20th century due to its low value and the rise of more durable and valuable metals like nickel and cupro-nickel.
