Interesting fact
The Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban 20 Euro coin from France features a unique design that incorporates a built-in security feature. The coin's outer ring is made of a non-ferrous metal that is resistant to corrosion, while the inner core is made of a ferrous metal that oxidizes over time. This design creates a visually striking effect where the coin's inner core appears to be "floating" within the outer ring, making it difficult to counterfeit.
