Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Fürth (Kantinenverwaltung) ND coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation. In the early 1920s, the value of the German mark had decreased significantly, and the government was forced to introduce new coins with lower denominations to keep up with the increasing prices. The 5 Pfennigs coin was one of these new coins, and it was minted in large quantities to meet the demand for small change. Despite its low value, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item, particularly among numismatists who are interested in the economic history of Germany.
