Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Annweiler 1919 coin from the City of Annweiler in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany following World War I. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it weighed only 1.00g, making it a lightweight and portable option for everyday transactions. Despite its small size and value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
