Interesting fact
The 1996 Marshall Islands Space Shuttle Discovery silver coin features an error in its design. The coin's reverse side shows the Space Shuttle Discovery blasting off, but the rocket's exhaust trail is depicted as a spiral, rather than the typical straight line. This error was not corrected, making the coin a unique and interesting collector's item.
