Interesting fact

The 1 Falus coin from the City of Kabul (Afghan Cities) is interesting because it is made of plated copper, which means that it has a thin layer of copper on top of a base metal, such as cupro-nickel or nickel-brass. This is different from many other coins, which are made of solid copper or other metals. The use of plated copper allows for a lower production cost, while still maintaining the appearance and durability of a copper coin.
