Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Furth im Wald, Bavaria, has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center, which was designed to prevent the coin from being used as a pendant or charm. This was a common practice in the past, where coins were often holed so that they could be worn as jewelry or talismans. The hole in the Furth im Wald coin was intended to prevent this practice and to ensure that the coin remained in circulation as a means of payment.
