Interesting fact
The 1996 1000 Francs CFA coin from the Republic of the Congo, which was issued to commemorate the 1998 FIFA World Cup, features an error in the design. The coin was supposed to feature a picture of a football player in action, but instead, it features a picture of a player holding a trophy. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still released into circulation. As a result, it has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and football fans.
