Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Cents (Pattern) 1963 from South Africa made of Nickel is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated or released into the public. It was created as a trial or pattern coin, and only a limited number of samples were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction. In fact, in 2018, one of these coins sold for over $10,000 at a Heritage Auction in Florida! That's a pretty impressive value for a coin that was never meant to be used as currency.
