Interesting fact
The 2 Dollars coin from Zimbabwe, issued between 2001 and 2003, has a unique feature - it has a brass plating on a steel core. This was done to reduce the cost of production, as brass is less expensive than other metals. However, this also made the coin prone to corrosion, and many coins have been found with green spots or discoloration over time. This has led collectors to nickname this coin the "Zimbabwean zombie coin" due to its tendency to "come back from the dead" in the form of corroded coins.
