Interesting fact
The 20 Paise coin from India, which was in circulation from 1982 to 1997, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a distinctive "dented" or "reeded" edge, which was introduced as an anti-counterfeiting measure. This feature was designed to make it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins that could pass as genuine. The reeded edge was created by the mint using a special process that involved pressing the coin's edges against a textured surface, resulting in a series of small grooves and ridges that give the coin its distinctive look and feel. This feature has made the 20 Paise coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
