Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was made of zinc, which was a replacement for the previously used bronze. This change in material was due to the wartime needs for bronze, which was used for the production of weapons and ammunition. The use of zinc in coin production was a common practice during World War II, as it was a more affordable and accessible material than other metals.
