Interesting fact
The 2005 Sierra Leone 1 Dollar (Hippo) coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. Despite its relatively small weight of 28.42 grams, the coin has a unique and interesting design, featuring a hippopotamus on the obverse (front side) and the national emblem of Sierra Leone on the reverse (back side). The coin was made of copper-nickel, a common alloy used in coinage for its durability and resistance to corrosion.
