Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Oldisleben ND coin from the Municipality of Oldisleben (Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach) is interesting because it was made of zinc, which is a less common material used for coin production. Most coins are made of metals like copper, nickel, or silver, but zinc was used for this particular coin due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. This coin is a unique example of how different materials can be used for currency, and it adds diversity to the world of numismatics.
