Interesting fact
The 5 Jiao 43 coin from Taiwan, made of Copper-aluminium, has a unique feature. It's a rare example of a coin that was intentionally designed with a mistake. The coin's designer, Mr. C.Y. Hsu, mistakenly engraved the Chinese character for "four" instead of "three" in the year "1954" on the coin's obverse. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still released into circulation. This mistake has made the coin a sought-after collector's item, and its value has increased over time.
