Comment
Previously known as y621Interesting fact
The 1994 Non-circulating coin 50 Yuan (First Tuned Bells) from People's Republic of China made of Gold (.999) weighing 15.5517 g has a unique feature - it's the first coin in the world to use a special technology called "tuned bells" which creates a melodious sound when the coin is rotated. This innovative feature was achieved by precision-cutting the coin's edges to create a series of small, tuned bells that ring when the coin is turned. This makes the coin not only visually appealing but also gives it a distinctive and memorable sound.
