Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is magnetic, which is unusual for a coin made of copper-plated steel. Most coins made of this material are not magnetic, but the addition of a small amount of magnetic material, such as nickel, can make them slightly magnetic. This feature was likely added to help distinguish the coin from other coins that look similar in appearance.
