Interesting fact
The 1993-1994 Jamaican $1 coin was the first coin to feature a magnetic core, which was introduced as an anti-counterfeiting measure. The magnetic core is made of a ferromagnetic material that reacts to magnetic fields, making it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins that pass the magnetic test. This feature was a significant innovation in coin technology and has since been adopted by other countries in their coinage.
