Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Milliarden - Heilbronn 1923 coin is that it was issued as a form of notgeld, or emergency currency, during a time of economic crisis in Germany. Notgeld was introduced in 1923 by the government of Württemberg, of which Heilbronn was a part, to address a shortage of small denomination coins and banknotes. The 100 Milliarden coin, which translates to "100 billion" in English, was one of the highest denomination coins issued during this time, and its unusual design and large denomination made it a popular collector's item.
