Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mark - Dietesheim (Bürger Verein) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Nickel plated zinc weighing 3.5g is that it features a unique design that represents the importance of local currency during times of economic hardship. The coin was issued during the period of hyperinflation in Germany after World War I, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and local communities issued their own notgeld, or emergency currency, to address the issue. The coin's design, which includes the image of a castle and the letters "Bürger Verein," highlights the community's effort to come together and support each other during a time of economic struggle.
