Interesting fact
The 20 Francs (Pope John Paul II) 2000 coin from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is made of gold (.999) and weighs 1.53g. That's interesting because most coins are made of a base metal like copper or nickel, and it's not common to see a coin made of gold, especially one that's not intended for circulation.
