Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Hun) ND (1857) coin from Korea was made of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass was a common material used for coins in many parts of the world during the 19th century, as it was durable, resistant to corrosion, and relatively inexpensive to produce. However, the use of brass for coins eventually fell out of favor due to its low intrinsic value and the risk of counterfeiting. Today, coins are typically made from more valuable and durable materials like gold, silver, or platinum.
