Interesting fact
The Turkish Kangal Dog coin has a unique feature - it has a built-in security feature that makes it difficult for counterfeiters to replicate. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a copper-nickel center surrounded by a brass ring, creates a distinctive sound when dropped onto a hard surface. This sound is known as the "Kangal Dog ring" and is a result of the difference in density between the two metals. This feature makes it easy for people to verify the coin's authenticity, making it a highly secure currency.
