Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pfennigs - Schneidemühl 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 2.0 grams, was worth only a small fraction of a cent at the time, and its value was constantly decreasing due to the rapid inflation. Despite its low value, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, serving as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
