Interesting fact

The 2 Jiao coin from the People's Republic of China, which was in circulation from 1980 to 1986, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The brass alloy used to make this coin contains 70% copper and 30% zinc, which gives it a distinctive golden color. This makes it stand out from other coins that are typically made of a silver-like alloy. Additionally, the coin's weight of 4.15 grams is also notable, as it is slightly heavier than other coins of similar size.
