Comment

Interesting fact

The 5 Céntimos coin from Peru, made of Brass and weighing 2.7 grams, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It has a distinctive "reeding" on the edges, which are small, raised ridges that run around the circumference of the coin. This reeding was added to the coin's design to help prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to tell apart from other coins.
