In 1931, the government of [[Honduras]] reformed the currency. The peso was dropped and the lempira adopted, with the exchange rate fixed at US$1 = 2 lempiras. A new series of coins were issued, a [[Honduras 1937 lempira|silver lempira]], [[Honduras 1951 50 centavos|fifty centavos]], [[Honduras 1952 20 centavos|twenty centavos]] and copper-nickel [[Honduras 1954 5 centavos|five]] and [[Honduras 1954 10 centavos|ten centavos]]. Bronze [[Honduras 1954 centavo|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. The 1956 is the last and most common of four dates of the type, struck 1939, 1949-56 at Philadelphia. The two centavos denomination was terminated in 1974.<br />
