Interesting fact
The 5 Euro Cents coin featuring Albert II (2nd type, 1st portrait) from Belgium was the first coin of its denomination to be made of copper-plated steel, rather than the traditional copper-nickel alloy used in previous versions. This change in material was implemented as a cost-saving measure by the Belgian mint, and it resulted in a slightly lighter coin compared to its predecessors.
