Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Millionen Mark - Ruhr und Rhein 1923 coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Brass weighing 12.9g is that it was issued during a time of extreme inflation in Germany, known as the "Hyperinflation" of 1922-1923. The coin's face value of 50 million marks was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, it was practically worthless. In fact, the inflation was so severe that the German government had to issue a new currency, the Rentenmark, to replace the Papiermark, which had become essentially worthless. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists today.
