Interesting fact
The 20 Lepta coin from Greece, 1973, has a unique feature. It's hole-punched. Yes, you read that right! Instead of having a smooth edge, this coin has a small hole in the center, which was intentionally designed that way. The hole was added to help people distinguish the coin from other coins of similar size and value. This feature makes it easier for people to identify the coin quickly, especially for those who are visually impaired.
