Interesting fact
The 5 Pennia coin from Finland, made of Copper and weighing 2.5 grams, is interesting because it was used during a time of great change in Finland's history. The coin was introduced in 1918, just a year after Finland declared its independence from Russia, and it remained in circulation until 1940, when Finland was forced to fight a brutal winter war against the Soviet Union. During this time, the coin was a symbol of Finnish independence and resilience, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item today.
