Interesting fact
The 2 Forint coin from Hungary, minted between 1946 and 1947, was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. This made it easier to produce and transport the coins, especially during a time when metal resources were scarce. Despite being made of a lightweight material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
