Interesting fact

The 25 Pennia coin from Finland was made of iron during the years 1943-1945 because of a shortage of copper, the metal that was previously used to make the coin. This is a unique feature of this coin, as most coins are made of a combination of metals, but this one was made entirely of iron.
