Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Ichenhausen 1917 coin from the City of Ichenhausen in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like silver, gold, or copper, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I. The country was facing a severe metal shortage, and the government had to resort to using alternative materials like zinc to produce coins. This coin is a unique example of how historical events can shape the design and composition of currency.
