Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Haltern 1921 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of coins was a result of the economic difficulties faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I, which led to a shortage of traditional coinage metals. The iron used in the production of these coins was sourced from the local ironworks in Haltern, which made the coin a unique and distinctive symbol of the city's industrial heritage.
