Interesting fact
The 10 Meticais coin from Mozambique features a unique bimetallic design, with a nickel-plated steel center surrounded by a nickel brass ring. This distinctive design not only makes the coin visually appealing, but it also serves as a security feature to prevent counterfeiting. The use of two different metals in the coin's construction makes it difficult for counterfeiters to replicate the coin's unique composition and texture. This ensures that the coin remains a secure and trustworthy form of currency for the people of Mozambique.
