Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Bad Mergentheim 1920 coin from the City of Mergentheim (Federal state of Württemberg) made of Zinc weighing 1.4 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the country was facing a severe economic crisis. The coin's value was equivalent to 5 pfennigs, a small denomination, but its purchasing power was significantly reduced due to the inflation. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
