Interesting fact
The 100,000 Mark coin from Unna, issued in 1923, is an interesting collector's item due to its unique history. It was minted during a period of hyperinflation in Germany, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and local governments and businesses began issuing their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld." This coin, made of aluminum and weighing only 1.5 grams, was one of the many different types of notgeld issued by the City of Unna in Westphalia. Its value was equivalent to 100,000 marks, a staggering amount at the time, reflecting the extreme inflation that Germany experienced in the early 1920s. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, serving as a reminder of the economic turmoil of the past.
