Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Stettin (Rudolph Karstadt) ND coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it weighed only 2.0 grams, making it a lightweight and portable option for everyday transactions. Despite its small size and value, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
