Interesting fact
The 5 Sucres coin from Ecuador, minted between 1943 and 1944, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.720), it was designed with a unique shape, known as a "lop-sided" or "off-center" coin. This means that the coin is not perfectly round, but instead has a slightly offset center, giving it a distinctive look. This design was chosen to make the coin easily identifiable and harder to counterfeit.
