Edge of coins
It's also worth noting that the 50 centavos (and higher) coins from the second family have the Brazilian Progressivist moto "Ordem e Progresso" engraved along the edge of them. However, I can only find the 50 centavo coin in my collection, but the other coins are worth looking into as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.183.99.20 (talk • contribs) 00:48, 1 December 2006.
- Indeed. But I believe this is a feature present only in the 50-cent coin. It is far "thicker" than the other coins, and they used this space to include the engraving. If I'm not mistaken, though, no other coins feature it. I'll figure out where to include the information for the 50 cent coin in the article. Thanks. Redux 11:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- The R$ 1 and the brass coins (R$ 0,10 and 0,25) also have markings on the edge. The brass coins have engraved stripes, and the R$ 1 has five groups of engraved stripes alternating with equal-width plain surfaces. The other (copper) coins have plain edges. Rsnetto74 18:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
