Comment
On July 1, 2017 the metal composition of the 10 cents changed into a steel core with a copper-nickel overlay, which makes this coin magnetic.
Since this change took place in the middle of the year it's likely the 2017 coin exists in old and new metal composition, so be aware to tick the right entry when adding a 2017 coin, especially since there are several other entries in between.
Interesting fact
The 10 Cents coin from Trinidad and Tobago features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. On the obverse side of the coin, there is an image of a national hero, Sir Eric Williams, who played a significant role in Trinidad and Tobago's struggle for independence. The reverse side of the coin features a depiction of the Scarlet Ibis, a bird that is native to the island and is considered a national symbol. The coin's design was created by local artist and sculptor, Alison Saunders, and it has been praised for its beauty and cultural significance.
