Interesting fact
The 5 Rentenpfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium bronze weighing 2.52 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically between 1923 and 1925. The coin's value was originally set at 5 Rentenpfennig, but due to the inflation, its purchasing power decreased significantly, and it became practically worthless. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic challenges Germany faced in the early 20th century.
