Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jamaican $20 coin is that it is the first coin in the world to use a unique feature called "orientation-sensitive currency," which means that the coin's design changes depending on how it is oriented. When held vertically, the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while when held horizontally, it shows a map of Jamaica. This innovative feature was introduced to prevent counterfeiting and make the coin more easily recognizable.
