Interesting fact
The 100 Guilders coin from Suriname featuring an athlete from the 1996 Olympic Games is a unique and interesting coin due to its non-circulating status and limited mintage. It was produced in 1996 as a commemorative coin to honor the Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The coin is made of copper-nickel and weighs 28 grams, which is slightly heavier than a standard coin. Its design features an athlete in mid-stride, symbolizing the spirit of competition and athleticism that defines the Olympic Games. The coin's non-circulating status means that it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors and enthusiasts. As a result, it is relatively rare and can be a valuable addition to a coin collection.
