Interesting fact
The "Judenpfennig" coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Copper in 1809 is interesting because it was used as a form of currency within the Jewish community in Frankfurt during a time when Jews were not allowed to hold public office or participate in certain professions. The coin was minted by the Jewish community as a way to circumvent these restrictions and promote economic independence.
