Krause lists these coins as Copper-Nickel with a fineness of .999. This is assumed to be an error on their website.

Interesting fact

The Apatosaurus coin from Sierra Leone features an unique design, showcasing the Apatosaurus, a type of sauropod dinosaur, in a standing position. This design was created by the coin's designer, P.M. Mottl, and it's different from the usual depiction of Apatosaurus in a lying position. This unique design makes the coin stand out among other dinosaur-themed coins.
