Interesting fact
The 20 Fenigów coin from Poland, minted between 1917 and 1918, was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper, but the use of iron was likely a result of the wartime economy and the need for a more affordable and accessible material. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
