Interesting fact
The Sinosauropteryx, featured on the 50 Cents - Elizabeth II coin from Canada, is a prehistoric creature that lived during the Jurassic period. It's known for its unique, hair-like structures on its body, which are believed to be one of the earliest examples of feathers evolving in animals.
