Interesting fact

The 5 Milliemes coin from Egypt, minted in 1972, was made of a unique alloy of 95% aluminum and 5% magnesium, which is different from the usual cupro-nickel or stainless steel used in many other coins. This distinctive composition makes it stand out among other coins and may contribute to its collectibility.
