Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 cent coin from Canada, featuring Elizabeth II (4th portrait) and made of nickel-plated steel, is that it was the first coin to use a new minting process called "electroplating" which helps to reduce the amount of wear and tear on the coin's surface, making it more durable and resistant to scratches and corrosion.
