Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Rupees (non-magnetic) coin from Sri Lanka is that it was made of Nickel brass, which is an alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel. This alloy was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that are intended to be used frequently and circulate widely. Additionally, the use of Nickel brass in coinage has been a common practice in many countries, as it is a cost-effective alternative to other metals like gold or silver, while still maintaining a high level of durability and resistance to wear and tear.
