Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Schweinfurt ND coin from the City of Schweinfurt (notgeld) in the Federal state of Bavaria, made of Iron and weighing 2.6 g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. Notgeld, which translates to "emergency money," was issued by cities and towns across Germany as a temporary solution to the lack of official currency. The 10 Pfennigs coin is a unique example of this emergency currency, as it was made from iron, a material that was not commonly used for coins at the time.
