Interesting fact
The 5 Mark coin from Uerdingen (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 9.0g was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. This coin was one of the few coins that maintained its value during that time, as it was made of a valuable metal like zinc, which was in high demand due to its use in industry.
