Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs coin from Torgelow (Prussian province of Pomerania) made of Zinc weighing 2.2 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was worth 10 Pfennigs, a small denomination, but its production and circulation were significant in helping to stabilize the German economy during that time.
