Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Cents coin from Kenya (1966-1968) is that it was made of a unique alloy called Nickel brass, which is a combination of 79% Copper, 20% Zinc, and 1% Nickel. This composition was specifically chosen to reduce the cost of production while maintaining the coin's durability and resistance to corrosion. The use of Nickel brass in coinage was a common practice in many countries during this time period, but it has since been replaced by other materials in many cases.
