Interesting fact

The Pattern 10 Bani coin from Romania, minted in 1956, was made of aluminum, which is a relatively rare metal for coins. Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal that is often used in modern coins, but it was not commonly used in coins at the time this coin was minted. The use of aluminum in this coin reflects Romania's efforts to experiment with different metals and materials in their coinage during the mid-20th century.
