Interesting fact

The 50 Laari coin from Maldives has a unique feature - it has a non-magnetic property, which means it does not get attracted to magnets. This is due to the composition of the coin, which is made of Nickel brass, a non-ferrous alloy that does not contain iron. This feature was incorporated to prevent the coin from getting stuck to magnetic surfaces, making it easier to handle and use in everyday transactions.
