Original Title: TIL a levitating coin shaped like a flying saucer was commissioned by Cameroon’s national bank to be used as legal tender in that country, minted with help from Poland’s Mint. A tiny motor hidden inside it creates a magnetic field between it and the specially designed base below it, making it float.
