Interesting fact
The 10 cent coin featuring Elizabeth II's 4th portrait, which was minted from 1999 to 2022, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's nickel plating is applied using a process called "electroplating," which involves passing an electric current through a solution containing nickel ions to deposit a thin layer of nickel onto the steel substrate. This process allows for a uniform and durable coating that gives the coin its distinctive silver color.
