Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is magnetic, which is a unique feature for a coin. Most coins are made of non-magnetic materials like copper, silver, or gold, but this particular coin is made of nickel-plated steel, which is magnetic. This feature was introduced as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to distinguish between genuine and fake coins.
