Interesting fact
The 50 cent coin from Singapore that was minted between 2013 and 2019 has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It has a distinctive "ring" or "whirly" sound when it is spun on a flat surface. This is due to the coin's unique metal composition, which includes a nickel plating over a steel core. The nickel plating gives the coin a smooth, shiny finish, while the steel core provides durability and resistance to wear and tear. The combination of these materials and the coin's design creates the distinctive sound that collectors and coin enthusiasts have come to associate with this particular coin.
