Interesting fact

The 5 Mark coin featuring Leipzig Old City Hall, issued in 1984 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR), has an interesting fact associated with it. Despite being minted in 1984, the coin was not released into circulation until after German reunification in 1990. This means that while the coin was minted during the GDR era, it was not distributed or used as a form of currency until after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.
