Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Regensburg, Bavaria, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coinage during World War I due to its low cost and durability. This coin was also one of the first to feature the iconic Regensburg Cathedral, which has been a symbol of the city for centuries.
