Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Pförring, Bavaria, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of iron, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin is a unique example of how the war effort influenced the production of currency.
