Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Centimos (Numeral; violet) ND (1938) coin from Spanish notgeld (Spain) made of Cardboard weighing 0.5 g is that it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Spain, specifically during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The use of cardboard as a material for coins was a result of the shortage of metals and the need to produce currency quickly and efficiently. This coin is a unique example of how countries have adapted their currency production methods during times of crisis.
