Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Marktschorgast, Bavaria, 1917, made of iron and weighing 2.4g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the use of substitute metals like iron for coinage became necessary due to the shortage of more valuable metals.
