Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Schönfliess, Bad ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 3.1 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by the government to address the shortage of small change, which was caused by the rapid devaluation of the German mark. The use of iron as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to reduce the cost of production, as it was cheaper than traditional metals like copper or silver. Despite its humble origins, the 25 Pfennigs - Schönfliess, Bad ND coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
