Interesting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (Black Rhinoceros) coin from Zambia, issued in 2014, is a unique and interesting coin due to its unique plating composition. While most coins are made of a single metal or a combination of metals, this coin is made of copper-nickel with a silver plating. This means that the coin has a layer of silver on top of the copper-nickel base, giving it a distinctive shine and making it stand out from other coins. This plating process also adds an extra layer of durability to the coin, ensuring that it will remain in good condition for a long time.
