Is this an actual coin?

What does the inscription read

Can someone shoop the smug hand on this coin

It looks like a commemorative coin. I've never seen this particular one, but I guess there must have been some of these released.

It just says "beatification of John Paul II", with the date.
Pic rel are the actual coins btw. 5, 2 and 1 złoty, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2 and 1 grosze.
There are also 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 zł bills, and they are planning on releasing 500 zł bill soon.

Are they still making the 1 grosz coin?
What's its use right now?

Yeah, they are still making it. The use is next to none, probably just continuity. You can't buy anything with 1 grosz. In fact, the cost of making a 1, 2 or 5 gr coins is greater than their nominal value. Obviously the bank doesnt' want to reveal the actual cost of production, but I seem to remember seeing an article claiming that making 1 grosz coins costs around 5 grosze.
Pretty retarded, yeah, I think there's been an idea to withdraw them from circulation a couple years ago. I don't know why that didn't work out.

Russia has done some great commemorative 10 rouble coins.

We have the same issue with the 1 and 5 pesos coins, they cost more to make than their actual value (about 6 and 17 pesos each). But they announced they're going to stop minting those starting next year.

What about 10 grosze? Can you do anything with those?
