Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Munich (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 2.1 g was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation. In the early 1920s, the value of the German mark had decreased significantly, and the government was forced to introduce a new currency, the Rentenmark, to stabilize the economy. The 10 Pfennigs coin was part of this new currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
