Interesting fact
The 5 Centimes 1921 coin from the Region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (French notgeld) made of Aluminium weighing 1.3 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic crisis in France, specifically during the First World War, when there was a shortage of metals used to mint coins. To address this issue, the French government issued coins made of aluminum, which was a more readily available material at the time. This coin is a unique example of how governments can adapt to challenging circumstances by using alternative materials for currency production.
