Interesting fact

The 20 Haléřů coin from Czechoslovakia, which was in circulation from 1947 to 1950, was made of brass and weighed 2 grams. Despite its small size and value, this coin has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was a distinctive characteristic of Czechoslovakian coins during that time period. This hole was added to the coin's design to make it easier for people to thread them onto strings or chains, which was a common practice among the working class in Czechoslovakia. This feature not only made the coin more practical but also gave it a distinctive look that set it apart from other coins of its time.
