Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Offenbach coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. Despite this, the coin was still widely used in circulation and remained a standard denomination in Germany until the introduction of the euro in 2002.
