Interesting fact

The 50 kopecks coin from Russia made of brass and weighing 2.9 grams has a unique feature - it has a reeded edge, which means that the edges of the coin have a textured, ribbed pattern. This was done to make it easier for people to tell the coin apart from other coins and to prevent counterfeiting.
