Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Mannheim (Stotz and Cie) ND coin from the City of Mannheim (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc is interesting because it was produced during a time when Germany was experiencing hyperinflation, and the value of the coin's metal content was significantly higher than its face value. This led to the coin being hoarded and taken out of circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
