Thus, the scientist’s portrait and a fragment of his periodic table are placed on a silver coin (Ag-925) with a face value of $5, issued by the small country of the Cook Islands in 2012. The circulation of the coin is not entirely usual: it coincides with the date of birth of Mendeleev: 1834 copies. True, this is far from the only case: for example, the circulation of a coin dedicated to Anders Celsius (Cook Islands, 2014) coincides with the year of the scientist’s death - 1744
