Interesting fact
The 1 Million Mark coin from Menden, issued in 1923, is a rare and unique coin that was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany. Due to the hyperinflation that occurred in the early 1920s, the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the government was forced to issue coins with higher denominations to keep up with the inflation. The 1 Million Mark coin was one of the highest denomination coins issued during this time, and it is now considered a valuable collector's item.
