Imagine earning R$30,000 for a few simple ten-cent coins? This has become a reality due to certain details that attract the eyes of collectors, known as numismatists.
The dime we are talking about is actually a cruzeiro coin minted in 1946. It features the image of former President Getúlio Vargas on its front face. What makes it so special is the inscription “OM” positioned above Vargas’ image.

In this context, OM refers to the engraver Orlando Moutinho Maio. Furthermore, on the opposite side of the cross, the date appears just above a star. And also on this side, we see the inscription of the engraver Benedito Araújo Ribeiro (BR).
