Interesting fact
The 1000 Lei (Constantin Brancoveanu) coin from Romania, which was in circulation from 2000 to 2006, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It is made of an alloy called Aluminium-magnesium, which is composed of 75% Magnesium and 25% Aluminium. This makes it one of the few coins in the world that is not made of a traditional metal like copper, silver, or gold. Instead, it has a distinctive lightweight feel, which is due to the use of magnesium, a relatively light metal. This choice of material also gives the coin a slightly different color compared to other coins, which can be an interesting detail for collectors.
