Interesting fact

The 2 Bauschen coin from the Free Imperial City of Aachen (German States) made of Copper weighing 17.34g has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was a common feature in coins of that era, used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to carry them more conveniently.
