The 1 Piso coin from the Philippines, minted between 1972 and 1974, has a unique feature. It's hole-punched! Yes, you read that right. The coin has a small circular hole in the center, which was designed to prevent people from threading the coins together to make a necklace or bracelet. This interesting fact adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise standard circulation coin.
