Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Albino Yellow Fish $1 coin from Fiji is that it features a unique error. The coin was mistakenly minted with a silver plating instead of the intended copper-nickel plating, resulting in a distinctive bright silver color. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable variation of the original issue.
