Interesting fact
The 10 Dollar Mosquito coin from Marshall Islands is interesting because it features a unique design, with a mosquito depicted on the obverse (front side) of the coin, while the reverse (back side) features a map of the Marshall Islands. This design was chosen to raise awareness about the importance of controlling mosquito populations, as they can spread diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. Additionally, the use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its distinctiveness, as it is not a commonly used material for coins.
