Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Henriettenhütte (Eisenwerk) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 3.6 g is that it was produced 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 were too expensive to use due to the inflation. This coin is a unique example of how currency can be affected by economic conditions and how governments can resort to unconventional materials during times of crisis.
