Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Mark coin from Germany, minted in 1922, was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Aluminum was chosen because it was a relatively inexpensive metal, and the German government wanted to reduce the cost of producing coins. However, the use of aluminum in coins was not well received by the public, as it was perceived as being less valuable than other metals. As a result, the Pattern 3 Mark coin was not widely accepted, and it is now considered a rare and collectible item.
