Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Kellinghusen ND (1917) coin from the City of Kellinghusen (Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein) made of Zinc weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's value was worth a fraction of a cent at the time, but its production and circulation helped to alleviate the economic crisis by providing a stable means of exchange for everyday transactions. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of Germany's economic history and the impact of inflation on currency.
