Interesting fact
The 10 Pennia coin from Finland, made of Copper and weighing 5g, is interesting because it was used during a time of great change in Finland's history. The coin was introduced in 1919, just a few years after Finland gained independence from Russia, and it remained in circulation until 1940, when Finland was forced to fight a brutal winter war against the Soviet Union. During this time, the coin was a symbol of Finnish independence and resilience, and it was used by everyday people to purchase essential goods and services. Despite the challenges faced by Finland during this period, the 10 Pennia coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
