Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Kemnath, Bavaria, 1921, made of zinc, and weighing 1.8g is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the currency was dropping rapidly. This coin, despite being made of a relatively low-value material like zinc, held a significant value during that time, and its design was meant to symbolize the city's resilience and determination to overcome the economic challenges.
