Interesting fact

The 2 Euro D-Day commemorative coin from France features a unique design that incorporates a piece of history. The coin's outer ring is made of a copper-nickel alloy, while the inner core is made of nickel brass. This bi-metallic design is a nod to the historic coins that were used during World War II, when the Allies used coins to fund their military efforts. The coin's design also features an image of a soldier on the beach, symbolizing the D-Day landings that took place on June 6, 1944. This coin is a meaningful tribute to the brave soldiers who fought for freedom and peace during one of the most significant events in modern history.
