Interesting fact
The 10 Dollar Venus coin from the Marshall Islands, made of brass in 1994, features an image of the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus, on its obverse side. This coin is part of a series of coins issued by the Marshall Islands to commemorate the planets of our solar system. The choice of Venus as the subject for this coin is interesting, as the planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess and is known for its unique rotation and orbit patterns. Additionally, the use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its unique features, as brass is a durable and long-lasting metal that is often used in coinage.
