Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs - Treuchtlingen 1920 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local Notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies. The 10 Pfennigs - Treuchtlingen 1920 coin, made of iron and weighing 3.1 grams, was one such alternative currency that was issued by the City of Treuchtlingen in Bavaria. Despite its humble value, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item, a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
