Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Zimbabwe 5 Dollar coin (2001-2003) is that it has a unique design feature. The coin features a holographic stripe that changes color when viewed from different angles. This feature was incorporated as an anti-counterfeiting measure, making it difficult for counterfeiters to replicate the coin.
