Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Hun) coin from Korea, which was minted between 1742 and 1752, was made of bronze and had a unique feature - it had a square hole in the center. This square hole was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing people to wear the coin as an amulet or pendant. This practice was believed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer.
