Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Grafenau (Papierfabrik Elsenthal) 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 2.5 grams, was a low-denomination coin that was widely used in everyday transactions during that time. Despite its low value, the coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of euros.
