Interesting fact

The 50 Centavos coin from Brazil, minted between 1942 and 1943, has an interesting feature. It was produced during a time when Brazil was undergoing a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Cruzeiro" period. As a result, the coin's value was constantly changing, and it was eventually replaced by a new currency, the "Cruzeiro Real," in 1943. This coin is a unique piece of history, serving as a reminder of Brazil's economic struggles during that time.
