Interesting fact

The "Transrapid-08" Hamburg-Berlin Monorail coin was issued in 1999 to commemorate the opening of the Transrapid monorail line between Hamburg and Berlin. The coin features an image of the monorail train on one side and the Liberian coat of arms on the other. It's made of copper-nickel and weighs 30.75 grams. I hope you find this information helpful!
