Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from Uerdingen (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.6 g has an interesting fact that it was produced during a time of economic struggle and hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the First World War and the subsequent years. The coin's value was not significant, but it was an important means of exchange for the people during that time.
