Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Neheim 1917 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). 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 - Neheim 1917 coin, made of iron and weighing 3.9 grams, was one of the many notgeld coins issued during this time to help alleviate the economic crisis.
