Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Warendorf 1920 coin from the City of Warendorf (notgeld) in the Prussian province of Westphalia is interesting because it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron in this case was likely due to the scarcity of other metals during the post-World War I period. The coin's weight of 3.1 grams is also notable, as it is lighter than most coins of similar value. This coin is a unique example of how the economic and political circumstances of a particular time and place can influence the design and production of currency.
