Interesting fact

The 10 pence coin from Guernsey featuring Elizabeth II's 4th portrait, which was minted between 2003 and 2006, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination. It has a non-magnetic composition, made of copper-nickel, which means it will not attract magnets. This is unlike many other coins, which are made of magnetic materials like steel or nickel-brass. This feature was incorporated as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting.
