Interesting fact
The 2 Øre coin from Denmark featuring Christian X, which was minted between 1918 and 1919, was made of iron and weighs 3.4700 grams. This is significant because it was a time when many coins were made of more valuable metals like gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of coins was a deliberate choice made by the Danish government to reduce the cost of coin production and make it more accessible to the general public. This decision was also influenced by the fact that iron was a readily available resource in Denmark at the time.
