Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from Nepal, which was in circulation from 2010 to 2012, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a square shape, unlike most coins which are round in shape. This square shape was chosen to make the coin easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation and to prevent counterfeiting.
