Interesting fact

The 5 Øre coin from Denmark, issued during the German occupation in 1941, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight material, the coin weighs 2.4 grams. This is unusually heavy for a coin of its size and material, and it's due to the fact that the coin was designed to be easily distinguishable from the German occupation coins, which were made of a lighter weight aluminum. This unique feature makes the coin stand out and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
