Interesting fact
The 5000 Shillings (Rhinoceros) coin from Uganda, minted in 2002, is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors. Despite its relatively small weight of 33.73 grams, the coin is made of silver (.850), which gives it a significant value among collectors.
