Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Bnin (Posen) in 1917 is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this case was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during World War I. This coin is a unique example of how the materials used in coin production can be influenced by historical events.
