Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Lüneburg (1917) 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 constraints and material shortages during World War I. The fact that it was made of a less valuable material also reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during this period.
