Interesting fact

The 5 Dollar (Lion) 1996 coin from Marshall Islands made of Copper-nickel is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual shape. Instead of being a traditional circular shape, this coin is shaped like a lion's head, with the lion's mane forming the outer rim of the coin and the lion's face in the center. This unique shape adds to the coin's collectibility and makes it stand out from other coins.
