10 kopek 2015 2ИВм — magnetic, from circulation
The circulation coin in brass-plated steel — attracted by a magnet — is worth face value. A non-magnetic aluminium-bronze coin of the same year (2015) comes from an NBU annual set.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2ИВм | magnetic, from circulation | Common | face value |
| 2ИВм | non-magnetic, from a mint set | Scarce | UAH 90–150 |

Enlarge photoIn 2015 the coin was struck in two runs: the circulation coin in brass-plated steel, which sticks to a magnet, and the collector coin for the NBU annual set in non-magnetic aluminium bronze. Only the set coin is collectable — it does not turn up in circulation, while the circulation coin is worth face value.

These are the 2015 collector 10 kopiyok coins in aluminium bronze: 10,000 were struck for the NBU annual set, and they are not attracted to a magnet. They never entered circulation and sell for UAH 90–150. The same year's circulation 10 kopiyok is brass-plated steel, magnetic and worth face value; it has its own page in the catalogue. Both share the ITK code 2ИВм.
