Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Dollar (Launch of Mercury-Atlas 8) 2017 from Fiji made of Silver plated copper-nickel weighing 25.85 g is that it features an error in the design. The coin was minted with an incorrect date, showing the year 2017 instead of 2018, which was the actual year of its release. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, increasing its value and rarity.
