Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the James Dean 5 Dollar coin from Marshall Islands is that it features an image of James Dean, an American actor who is widely considered a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement in the 1950s, on its obverse side. Despite his tragic death in a car accident at the age of 24, Dean's legacy has endured and he remains a symbol of youthful rebellion and nonconformity to this day.
