Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Partenkirchen, Bavaria, 1917, made of zinc and weighing 1.8g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing hyperinflation, and the government was forced to introduce a new currency, the Rentenmark, to stabilize the economy. Despite this, the 10 Pfennigs coin continued to be used as legal tender, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
