Interesting fact

The 1996 Cuban 1 Peso coin featuring the Indigo Cowfish is a unique and interesting coin due to its non-circulating status and the use of nickel clad steel in its production. Non-circulating coins are often produced in limited quantities and are not meant to be used as regular currency, making them sought-after collectibles among numismatists. Additionally, the use of nickel clad steel in the coin's production adds to its distinctiveness, as it is not a common material used in coinage. The coin's weight of 12.9 grams is also noteworthy, as it is slightly heavier than many other coins of similar size and composition. Overall, the 1996 Cuban 1 Peso coin featuring the Indigo Cowfish is a fascinating piece for collectors and coin enthusiasts.
