Interesting fact
The 10 Satang coin from Thailand, minted in 1942 during the reign of King Rama VIII, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of tin, which is a relatively soft metal, the coin was designed with a unique shape that makes it difficult to counterfeit. The coin has a rounded edge with a raised rim, and the surface is textured with small grooves that run diagonally across the coin. This texture, combined with the raised rim, creates a unique tactile experience for the visually impaired, making it easier for them to identify the coin. This feature was included to prevent counterfeiting, as it would be difficult to replicate the texture and rim accurately. This coin is a great example of how design and accessibility can come together to create a unique and secure currency.
