Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Witten 1920 coin from the City of Witten (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Aluminium weighing 0.6 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the cost of living skyrocketed. This coin, along with other coins and banknotes from that era, became a symbol of the economic struggles of the time.
