Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Markka coin from Finland, made of iron in 1953, features a unique design element - a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the design to make it easier for people to thread the coin onto a string or cord, allowing them to wear it as a pendant or amulet. This unique feature has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of Finnish culture.
