Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Münchberg 1920 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local Notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies. The 10 Pfennigs - Münchberg 1920 coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.77 grams, was one of the few coins that remained in circulation during this time, and it became a symbol of stability and hope for the German people.
