Comment
Interesting fact
The 1989 Marshall Islands 5 Dollar coin commemorating the 20th anniversary of the first moon landing features an error in its design. The coin's reverse side shows an image of the moon's surface with the words "First Men on the Moon" written above it, but the image of the moon is actually a mirrored version of a photograph taken by NASA's Apollo 11 mission. The error was not corrected, and the coin was still released into circulation. This mistake has made the coin a unique and interesting collector's item among numismatists.
