Interesting fact
The 5 Rupees coin from Sri Lanka, which was in circulation from 2005 to 2013, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It is made of brass plated steel, which gives it a distinctive golden color. This is different from many other coins, which are typically made of a single metal such as copper, nickel, or zinc. The use of brass plating gives the coin a more durable and resistant surface, which helps to prolong its lifespan and prevent wear and tear.
