Interesting fact

The 10 Zlotys coin featuring Maria Skłodowska-Curie is a rare example of a coin that was issued in a communist country (Poland) during the Cold War era, but still managed to feature a prominent scientist who was not a member of the ruling communist party. This coin was issued in 1967, just a few years before the fall of communism in Poland, and it stands out as a unique example of a coin that celebrated the achievements of a scientist who was not aligned with the political ideology of the ruling party.
