Interesting fact

The Manta Ray coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin due to its shape. Instead of being a traditional circular shape, this coin is shaped like a manta ray, with a large, flat body and two small "wings" on either side. This distinctive shape makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
