Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Offstein (Zuckerfabrik) 1920 coin from the Municipality of Offstein (Federal state of Hesse) made of Zinc weighing 1.81 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, like this 10 Pfennigs coin, to combat the inflation.
