Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively rare metal for coins. Most coins are made of copper, nickel, or a combination of the two, but zinc has been used in some cases as a more affordable and durable alternative. The use of zinc in coins can be beneficial because it is resistant to corrosion and can help to prevent the spread of bacteria and other microorganisms. Additionally, zinc is a sustainable and environmentally friendly metal, making it a good choice for coins that are intended to be used frequently and widely.
