Interesting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (Turtle) coin from Zambia, minted in 2001, is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual shape. Instead of being a traditional circular shape, this coin is shaped like a turtle, with a rounded square body and a head and tail that protrude from the sides. This distinctive shape makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
