Interesting fact
The 10 Kuruş coin from Turkey, minted between 1926 and 1928, has an interesting feature. It was made of aluminum bronze, an alloy composed of 91% copper and 9% aluminum. This makes it stand out from other coins of its time, which were often made of pure copper or silver. The use of aluminum bronze was likely chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it a practical choice for a widely circulating coin.
