Interesting fact
The 5 Pfennigs - Woldenberg (Brandenburg) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 2.3 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the government was forced to introduce new currency denominations to keep up with the inflation. The 5 Pfennigs coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. Its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item, and it can fetch a high price at auctions.
