Interesting fact

The 1 Sen coin from Brunei, featuring the first portrait of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and made of copper-clad steel, was the first coin in the world to use a special magnetic material that made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins. This innovative feature was introduced in 1986 and was a significant step in combating counterfeiting.
