Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Aalen 1920 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in coinage was a result of the economic and political conditions in Germany after World War I, when there was a shortage of precious metals and a need for a cheap and durable material for coin production. The iron used in these coins was sourced from the nearby city of Aalen, which was known for its ironworks. This coin is a unique example of how economic and political factors can influence the design and production of currency.
