Interesting fact
The 50 Paisa coin from Pakistan, minted in 1998, is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was produced in limited quantities as a collector's item or for special occasions. Despite its small weight of 1.4 grams, the coin is made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight metal. This makes it an interesting collector's item for those interested in unique or unusual coins.
