Interesting fact

The 1999 Sierra Leone 1 Dollar coin featuring a portion of the Great Wall is a unique collector's item because it has a distinctive shape. Instead of being a traditional round or square shape, this coin is shaped like a miniature replica of the Great Wall itself, with a wavy design that resembles the historic structure's battlements. This unique design makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
