Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Weidenbach (Apotheke Weidenbach-Triesdorf) ND is interesting because it was made of iron, which is a unusual material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but this one was made of iron, which is a more common metal used in industrial applications. This choice of material may have been due to the scarcity of other metals during the time period or a deliberate design choice. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 2.4g is also notable, as it is lighter than many other coins of similar denomination.
