Interesting fact
The Sikorsky VS-300, featured on the 2003 Solomon Islands $25 coin, was the first practical helicopter and was designed and built by Igor Sikorsky in 1939. It was the first helicopter to use a single main rotor and tail rotor design, which has since become the standard configuration for most helicopters.
