Interesting fact

The 1 Jiao coin from the People's Republic of China, which was in circulation from 1980 to 1986, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The brass alloy used to make the coin contains 70% copper and 30% zinc, which gives it a distinctive golden color. This makes it stand out from other coins that are typically made of a silver-like alloy. Additionally, the coin's weight of 2.6 grams is relatively light compared to other coins of similar size, which makes it easy to handle and transport.
