The peso was dropped and the lempira adopted, with the exchange rate fixed at US$1 = two lempiras. A new series of coins were issued, a silver [[Honduras 1937 lempira|lempira]], [[Honduras 1951 50 centavos|fifty centavos]], twenty centavos and copper-nickel [[Honduras 1954 5 centavos|five]] and [[Honduras 1951 10 centavos|ten centavos]]. Bronze one and two centavos were added later. The new coins marked the first new issues since the early 1920's; all were minted outside the country and the old mint in Tegucigalpa closed for good. This bronze type was issued 1935, 1939 and 1949 from the Philadelphia mint.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' 2,000,000.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' 2 g, bronze, 16 mm diameter.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM 77.1.<br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Michael, Thomas, and Tracy L.
