Interesting fact

The 25 Aurar coin from Iceland, made of copper-nickel and weighing 2.4 grams, is interesting because it was used as a means of payment in Iceland during a time of great economic change. The coin was introduced in 1946, just after World War II, and was used until 1967, when Iceland transitioned to a new currency, the Icelandic króna. During this time, Iceland experienced significant economic growth and development, and the 25 Aurar coin played a key role in facilitating transactions and commerce. Today, the coin is a valuable collector's item and a reminder of Iceland's economic history.
