Interesting fact

The 5 Dinara coin from Yugoslavia, minted in 1963, was the first coin in the world to be made of aluminum. This was a pioneering move by Yugoslavia, as aluminum was a relatively new material in coin production at the time. The use of aluminum allowed for a lighter and more durable coin, which was well-suited for circulation. This innovation paved the way for other countries to adopt aluminum in their coinage, and today, aluminum is a common material used in coins all over the world.
