Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Ludwigshafen am Rhein (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 1.85 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. In 1917, Germany was facing a severe shortage of coins due to the war effort, leading to the introduction of emergency currency, such as this coin, which was made of zinc, a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during World War I.
