Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier coin from the County of Stolberg (German States) made of Silver has a unique feature. It has a hexagonal shape, unlike most coins which are round or square. This hexagonal shape was chosen to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins in circulation at the time.
