Interesting fact

The 50 cents coin from Zimbabwe, issued between 2001 and 2003, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It has a square hole in the center, which was designed to prevent the coin from being used as a tool for gambling. This feature was introduced as a security measure to prevent people from using the coin as a spinning top, which was a popular gambling game in Zimbabwe at the time.
