Interesting fact
The 1 Ackey coin from Ghana, also known as the Gold Coast, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to enable locals to thread the coin onto a string or cord, allowing them to wear it as a pendant or amulet. This feature was particularly useful for the Akan people, who believed that coins with holes had spiritual significance and could bring good luck.
