Interesting fact
The 2500 Shilingi (Giraffe) coin from Tanzania, minted in 1998, is made of silver and weighs 155.36 grams, which is unusual for a coin of its denomination. Most coins of this value are made of a less valuable metal, such as copper or nickel, and are not as heavy. The use of silver for this coin makes it stand out and may contribute to its collectibility.
