Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Frankenthal (Palatinate) in Bavaria, Germany, issued in 1920, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coins during that time period due to its low cost and durability. However, the use of zinc for coins was eventually discontinued due to its tendency to corrode easily, making it difficult to maintain its value and longevity. Therefore, coins made of zinc, like the 1 Pfennig from Frankenthal, have become a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
