Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Offenbach am Main (Federal state of Hesse) made of Zinc weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation, and the value of the Pfennig coin was constantly decreasing. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value as a symbol of German culture and history, and it remains a popular collector's item to this day.
