Interesting fact
The 25 Baisa coin from Oman featuring Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said has a unique feature - it has a magnetic core. This is due to the use of a magnetic material in the coin's inner core, which is covered by a layer of nickel plating. This feature was introduced as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to distinguish genuine coins from fake ones.
