Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Mauritius made of Copper-nickel and weighing 7.45g has a unique feature - it has a bimetallic design, meaning it has two different metals used in its construction. The inner circle is made of copper, while the outer ring is made of nickel. This bimetallic design was used to reduce the cost of production and to make the coin more durable.
