Interesting fact
The 1000 Shillings (Hong Kong) 1996 coin from Uganda is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation in the general public and was instead produced for collectors or special occasions. Despite being made of copper-nickel, the coin weighs 21 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This makes it a unique and interesting addition to any coin collection.
