Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Stettin 1917 coin from the City of Stettin (notgeld) in the Prussian province of Pomerania is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of the time, as zinc was a cheaper and more readily available material. This coin is a unique example of how the scarcity of certain metals during wartime can lead to innovative solutions in currency production.
