Interesting fact
The Brontosaurus depicted on the coin is actually a misidentification. The coin features a illustration of a sauropod dinosaur, but it is not a accurate representation of a Brontosaurus. The Brontosaurus is a type of sauropod that had a longer neck and tail, and a more rounded snout than the one depicted on the coin. The coin's design is actually based on a different type of sauropod, such as the Diplodocus or Apatosaurus. Despite this, the coin is still a unique and interesting collector's item for those interested in dinosaurs and numismatics.
