Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Quakenbrück (Prussian province of Hanover) made of Zinc weighing 1.8 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic hardship and inflation in Germany during World War I. The coin was minted in 1917, and its low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the wartime economy and the need for a more affordable and accessible currency for the general population. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of history for numismatists today.
