Interesting fact
The 50 Fillér coin from Hungary, made of Aluminium and weighing 1.4 grams, is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in Hungary. The coin was introduced in 1953, just a few years after the end of World War II, and was used until 1966. During this time, Hungary was transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-based economy, and the coin's design and production reflect this shift. The coin's aluminum composition was likely chosen for its durability and affordability, as well as its ability to be easily minted and distributed. Despite its small size and relatively short lifespan, the 50 Fillér coin remains an interesting artifact of Hungary's economic and political history.
