Interesting fact

The 50 Centavos coin from Paraguay, made of copper-nickel and weighing 2.0 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. In the early 1920s, Paraguay experienced a period of hyperinflation, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the peso, in 1925. The 50 Centavos coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's design has remained iconic and is still recognized today as a symbol of Paraguay's rich history and culture.
