Interesting fact
The 1996 Marshall Islands Space Shuttle - Discovery $10 non-circulating coin made of Brass weighing 21.3g features an error in its design. The coin's reverse side shows an image of the Space Shuttle Discovery, but the image is actually a mirrored version of the shuttle. Instead of the shuttle's distinctive vertical stabilizer being on the left side of the coin, it is on the right side, indicating that the image was flipped during the design process. This error has made the coin a unique and highly sought-after collector's item among space enthusiasts and coin collectors.
