Interesting fact

The 1 Øre coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian X (1926-1940), features a unique design element - a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to make it easier for people to thread the coins onto a string or wire, allowing them to be worn as a necklace or bracelet. This feature was particularly useful for the lower-denomination coins, like the 1 Øre, which were used for everyday transactions. This interesting fact adds a touch of practicality and functionality to the coin's design, making it stand out among other coins of its time.
