Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Schneidemühl 1920 coin from the City of Schneidemühl (Posen) (Prussian province of Posen) made of Iron weighing 1.8 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the price of goods and services skyrocketed. This coin, along with other coins and banknotes issued during this period, was designed to help alleviate the economic crisis by providing a stable alternative to the rapidly devaluing paper currency.
