Interesting fact
The 10 Chon coin from North Korea, issued in 1959, is interesting because it was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight material for coins. This choice of material was likely chosen to reduce the cost of production and to make the coin more durable than coins made of other materials. Additionally, the fact that it weighs only 1.0 g makes it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time, which is a unique feature.
