Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Cammin 1918 coin from the City of Cammin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was worth 10 Pfennigs, a relatively small amount, but due to the inflation, it became nearly worthless. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic struggles Germany faced in the early 20th century.
