Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Offenbach am Main 1917 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, which led to the devaluation of its currency, and the 10 Pfennigs coin was one of the few coins that remained in circulation during this time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of zinc, which was a more durable material than the paper notes that were also in use at the time. This made it a popular choice for everyday transactions, and it remains a sought-after collector's item to this day.
