Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 200 Milliarden - Heilbronn 1923 from City of Heilbronn (notgeld) (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Bronze weighing 15.6 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's high denomination of 200 milliarden (200 billion) marks reflects the extreme inflation that occurred during this time, when the value of the German mark plummeted and prices skyrocketed. Despite its high denomination, the coin was not circulated and was instead sold at a premium price to collectors, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
