Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of cardboard, which is a unique and eco-friendly material for a coin. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or zinc, but this one is made of a renewable resource that is biodegradable and recyclable. This makes it a distinctive and environmentally conscious option for a coin.
