Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it is made of cardboard, which is a unique and eco-friendly material for a coin. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or zinc, but this coin stands out for its use of a renewable resource. It's also a great example of how currency can be designed to be both functional and environmentally conscious.
