Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Kitzingen 1917 coin from the City of Kitzingen (Federal state of Bavaria) made of Zinc weighing 1.4 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value was significantly lower than its production cost, which led to the minting of a large quantity of coins that were not put into circulation. This coin is a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time period.
