Interesting fact
The 500 Francs CFA (Gorch Fock; copper) 2000 coin from Togo is made of copper, which is a reddish-orange metal that is highly valued for its durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity. Copper has been used for centuries in various applications, including currency, and it is a key component in many modern technologies, such as electronics, electrical wiring, and plumbing. Interestingly, copper is also a good conductor of heat, which means that it can efficiently transfer heat energy from one place to another. This property makes copper a popular choice for cookware, as it allows for even heat distribution and helps to prevent hotspots.
