Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Epe (Baumwollspinnerei Germania) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron weighing 3.6 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency coins minted by the German government to address the shortage of small change caused by the rapid inflation. The use of iron as the material for the coin was also a result of the shortage of more traditional metals, such as copper and silver, during this time. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
