Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Braunschweig (Staatsbank) 1921 coin from the Federal state of Brunswick (German notgeld) made of Zinc weighing 2.0 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by the state of Brunswick to address the shortage of small change during this time. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was also a unique choice, as most coins of that time were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold.
