Republic of Benin's 1 oz coin honoring Cannabis Sativa, a herbaceous plant in the Cannabis genus also known as marihuana, is a creative and unusual piece of currency. The coin's high relief and eye-catching hues make it concave. The reasoning behind it is obvious. Now it's back, this time on a 1 ounce coin struck from pure silver and rendered in high concave relief and stunning bright colors. Cannabis is the genus name for three different types of possible flowering plants: Cannabis sativa L., Cannabis indica Lam., and Cannabis ruderalis Janisch. Central and South Asia are home to these three native taxa. The plant Cannabis has long been utilized as a source of fiber (hemp), a medicinal aid, and a recreational substance. Products derived from industrial hemp are cultivated from Cannabis strains selectively bred for high fiber yields and low concentrations of THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for marijuana's euphoric effects. The dried flowers and leaves of plants bred for their high THC content make up the psychoactive ingredient. Besides hashish and hash oil, the plant is used to make a number of other extracts. Worldwide, only 999 of these will ever be minted. Strictly limited edition coins that are sure to sell out quickly.
