Interesting fact

The 50 Cents (Bond Coin) from Zimbabwe was introduced in 2014 as a cost-saving measure, replacing the $1 coin. It was made of nickel-plated steel and had a lower mintage than other coins in circulation. Despite its lower value, the coin was still considered legal tender and was widely used in transactions throughout the country.
