Interesting fact
The 1 Bazaruco coin from Sri Lanka, made of Tin and weighing 1.4g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the country's colonial period, specifically during the Dutch colonial era (1621-1640). It's a unique piece of history that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and economic development during that time.
