Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Gardelegen ND coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1922, just a few years after the end of World War I, which had a profound impact on the German economy. The country was experiencing hyperinflation, with prices increasing by a factor of 100 trillion (that's 100,000,000,000) between 1920 and 1923. This coin, made of zinc and weighing only 1.7 grams, was a small denomination coin that was widely used in everyday transactions during this time. Despite its small value, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
