Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennigs - Marienwerder 1918 coin from the City of Marienwerder (West Prussia) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1918, during the final year of World War I, when the German economy was struggling to keep up with the demands of the war effort. As a result, many coins from this period were made from substitute metals, such as iron, instead of the more traditional copper or silver. This coin is a rare example of a coin made from iron, and its unique composition makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
