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 cent coin from Trinidad and Tobago has a unique feature - it is magnetic. This is due to the copper-nickel plating on the steel core, which gives it a distinctive magnetic property. This feature helps to differentiate it from other coins and makes it easily identifiable.
