Interesting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from Cape Verde, issued in 1930, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center. This was a deliberate design choice, known as a "pierced coin," which was intended to make the coin easier to thread onto a string or cord, allowing people to wear it as a pendant or amulet. This unusual design feature has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists.
