Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Menden (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Iron weighing 3.15g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic hardship and hyperinflation in Germany following World War I. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the lowest denomination coins in circulation at the time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and collectible piece of history.
