Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs coin from Immenstadt, Bavaria, 1920, made of zinc, and weighing 1.6g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the German Mark plummeted, and many cities, like Immenstadt, issued their own emergency currency, like this coin, to combat the inflation.
