Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from Nepal, which features Mahendra Bir Bikram 2012 (1955), is unique in that it was minted with a square shape, rather than the traditional round shape of most coins. This square shape was chosen to symbolize the four directions and the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water.
