Interesting fact
The 1 Penny coin from Ireland, which was minted between 1988 and 2000, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's magnetic properties are due to the use of a copper-plated steel material, which was used to reduce the cost of production. This makes it one of the few coins in the world that is both magnetic and made of a non-ferrous material.
