Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from Naila, Bavaria, issued in 1918, is interesting because it was made of iron, a material that was commonly used for coins during that time period due to its durability and affordability. However, it's worth noting that the use of iron in coins was eventually discontinued due to its tendency to rust and corrode over time, making it less practical for circulation.
