Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Steinwiesen 1921 coin from the Municipality of Steinwiesen in Bavaria, made of zinc and weighing 1.5g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the use of foreign currencies like the US dollar became more common. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintained its value and remained in circulation, a testament to the resilience of the German people during that time.
