Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Driesen (Brandenburg) ND coin was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of iron because other metals, like copper and silver, were too expensive to use for coinage due to the inflation. The use of iron for coins was a common practice during this time, and it's a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of its time.
