Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2500 Lira coin from Turkey made of Nickel brass is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a distinctive "reeding" or "knurling" on the edges, which gives it a textured feel and helps to differentiate it from other coins. This feature was added to the coin's design to make it easier for people to identify and handle, especially for those who are visually impaired.
