Interesting fact
The 1 Yuan coin from the People's Republic of China, which was in circulation from 1999 to 2019, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's outer ring is made of a nickel-plated steel, while the inner core is made of a copper-nickel alloy. This bi-metallic design helps to prevent counterfeiting and makes the coin more durable than coins made of a single metal.
