Interesting fact
The 10 Dollar Christopher Columbus coin from Sierra Leone, minted in 2006, is made of silver and weighs 28.28 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the Americas, but the design mistakenly depicts a map of the world with the Americas placed on the opposite side of the globe from where they should be. This error has made the coin a unique and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
