Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Ludwigshafen am Rhein (BASF) 1918 is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the currency was rapidly decreasing. As a result, the coin was made of zinc, a cheaper metal, instead of the traditional silver or gold, to keep production costs down. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
