Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is magnetic, which is a unique feature for a coin. Most coins are made of non-magnetic materials like copper, silver, or gold, but this coin is made of steel plated copper-nickel, which gives it its magnetic properties. This feature was incorporated as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting and to make the coin easily identifiable as authentic.
