Interesting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from Guatemala, made of Nickel brass, has a unique feature - it is non-magnetic. This is because Nickel brass, the alloy used to make the coin, does not contain any iron, which is the primary component that makes metals magnetic. This makes the coin stand out from other coins that are made of ferromagnetic materials, like iron or nickel, which are attracted to magnets.
