Interesting fact
The 1000 Francs CFA coin from the Republic of the Congo, minted in 2004, is made of .999 silver and weighs 20 grams. That's quite unusual, as most coins are made of a copper-nickel alloy or have a much lower silver content. The high silver content gives the coin a distinctive look and makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
