Interesting fact
The 1968 2 Rupees coin from Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Australia) made of plastic (red) is interesting because it was issued as a replacement for the original 1967 issue, which was made of cupro-nickel and had a different design. The 1968 issue was created to address a shortage of small denomination coins on the island, and it features a unique red plastic composition that sets it apart from other coins.
