Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Cent - Elizabeth II (4th portrait; Specimen sets) 2004-2015 from Canada is that it was minted with a unique copper plating process that gives it a distinctive color and texture. The coin's copper plating was applied using a method called "electroplating," which involves passing an electric current through a solution containing copper ions to deposit the copper onto the steel substrate. This process allows for a thin layer of copper to be applied to the coin, giving it a shiny, copper-colored surface.
