Interesting fact

The 10 Kuruş (FAO) 1976 coin from Turkey is interesting because it was minted to commemorate the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which aims to achieve food security and promote sustainable agriculture and rural development. The coin's design features the FAO's emblem on one side and the Turkish coat of arms on the other. It's also made of aluminum, which is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal, making it an unusual choice for a coin.
