Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Magdeburg 1921 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper, but the use of iron in this case was likely due to the economic constraints of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of more valuable metals. This coin is a rare example of a coin made of a non-precious metal, and it's a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Magdeburg during a time of economic hardship.
