Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Bad Mergentheim 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 2.0 grams, was a result of the economic crisis that Germany faced after World War I, which led to a significant decrease in the value of the German mark. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 2 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing prices of goods and services. Despite its low value, this coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
