Interesting fact
The 10 Satang coin from Thailand, minted in 1946 during the reign of King Rama VIII, has an interesting feature. It was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. This makes it unique compared to coins from other countries that were made of more durable materials like copper, nickel, or silver. The use of tin was likely a cost-saving measure during a time when metal resources were scarce. Despite its softness, the coin has remained a popular collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
