Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Lauingen 1918 coin from the City of Lauingen (notgeld) in the Federal state of Bavaria, made of Zinc and weighing 2.7 g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic crisis and hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Notgeld era (1918-1922), when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency due to the shortage of official German currency.
