Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Fürth 1917 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, many merchants and traders began to use foreign currencies, such as the US dollar, as a more stable alternative. Despite this, the 1 Pfennig coin remained in circulation and was a symbol of the city of Fürth's rich history and culture.
