Interesting fact
The 50 Centésimos coin from Uruguay, made of Aluminium and weighing 2 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of high inflation in the country. In the mid-1960s, Uruguay was experiencing a period of rapid price increases, which led to a decrease in the purchasing power of the Uruguayan peso. As a result, the government decided to introduce a new coinage system, which included the 50 Centésimos coin, to help combat inflation and stabilize the economy. This coin, along with others in the new system, was designed to be more durable and have a longer lifespan than previous coins, and it played an important role in the country's monetary reform efforts.
