Interesting fact

The 10 Pfennigs coin from Weissenburg, Bayern (Bavaria) made of Zinc and weighing 2.5g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of 1918-1923. The coin's value was equivalent to 10 pfennigs, a small denomination, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became practically worthless. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history.
