Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Cammin 1918 coin from the City of Cammin (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Iron weighing 3.1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, a year marked by hyperinflation, political instability, and the end of World War I. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation and was used as a means of exchange among the people of Cammin and the surrounding region. Its iron composition also makes it a unique and rare example of a coin made from a non-precious metal, highlighting the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people who produced it.
