Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins, which were often made of more durable metals like copper, silver, or gold. Despite this, the zinc coin has still managed to survive and remain in circulation for many years, which speaks to its historical significance and value.
