Interesting fact
The 10 Cents (Magnetic) 1976 coin from Uganda was the first coin in the country's history to feature a magnetic material. The coin's outer layer is made of copper-plated steel, which contains a small amount of magnetite, a naturally occurring iron ore that gives the coin its magnetic properties. This unique feature was introduced as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation.
