Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of cardboard, which is a unique and unusual material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but this one was made of a lightweight, durable, and affordable material, which was likely chosen due to its availability and cost-effectiveness during the time it was produced.
