Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Amafaranga (Elephant; iridium) 2014 coin from Rwanda is that it is made of iridium, a rare and dense metal that is highly resistant to corrosion and has a melting point of over 2,400 degrees Celsius. This makes it an unusual and unique choice for a coin, and adds to its collectibility and value.
