Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the City of Kamenz (German States) made of Copper weighing 0.2g is interesting because it is one of the smallest coins ever minted, with a diameter of only 13mm. Despite its small size, it was still used as a means of payment in the 17th century, highlighting the importance of even the smallest denominations in the economy of that time.
