Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Wunsiedel 1920 coin from the City of Wunsiedel in Bavaria, Germany, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coin production during that time period. Zinc is a durable and corrosion-resistant metal, which made it an ideal choice for coins that were intended to be used extensively in circulation. However, it's worth noting that the use of zinc in coin production has largely been discontinued in modern times due to the metal's tendency to corrode over time, which can affect the coin's appearance and longevity.
