Interesting fact

The 1 Ifaranga (Magnetic) ND (2007-2011) coin from Rwanda is made of steel and has a unique feature - it is magnetic. This is due to the presence of a small amount of magnetite, a naturally occurring iron ore, in the steel alloy used to mint the coin. This makes it stand out from other coins that are not magnetic, and it's a interesting fact that collectors and coin enthusiasts might find fascinating.
