Interesting fact

The 10 cent coin from the German Occupation of the Netherlands (1941-1943) was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, nickel, or silver, but the use of zinc was likely due to the wartime scarcity of other metals. This coin is a unique example of how war can impact the production of currency.
