Interesting fact
The 50 Dirhams coin from Qatar, which was minted between 2008 and 2012, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It is the first coin in the world to use a new technology called "Virtual Image Display," which allows the coin to display a 3D image of a building or structure when viewed through a special viewer. This technology was developed by a company called Nanovation, and it uses a combination of micro-lenses and diffractive optics to create the 3D image. The 50 Dirhams coin features a 3D image of the Al Faisaliyah Tower, a prominent skyscraper in Doha, Qatar. This innovative technology has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
