Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Warendorf 1918 coin from the City of Warendorf (notgeld) in the Prussian province of Westphalia is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of metals like silver, gold, or copper, but the use of zinc in this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of Germany during World War I, when many traditional coinage metals were scarce or unavailable. The use of zinc in this coin also highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Warendorf during a time of crisis.
