Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Nepal, featuring Mahendra Bir Bikram and minted between 2011-2012 (1954-1955), is interesting because it was made of copper-nickel, a metal composition that is resistant to corrosion and has a longer lifespan compared to other metals. This makes it a durable and practical choice for a widely circulating coin.
