Interesting fact
The 1 Cash ND coin from the Malay peninsula (Malaysia) made of Tin weighing 1.38g was minted during the Japanese occupation of Malaya during World War II. The coin was introduced in 1942 and was used as a substitute for the Straits dollar, which was the official currency of the Straits Settlements at that time. The use of tin as the material for the coin was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during the war. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political circumstances of Malaya during that period.
