Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Hayingen, issued during the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine, is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this case was likely due to its low cost and durability. This coin is a unique example of the economic and political context of the time, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history of currency and trade in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
