Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Lippehne ND (1919) coin from Prussian province of Brandenburg (German notgeld) made of Iron weighing 3.1 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 made of iron because other metals were scarce or too expensive to use for coinage during this time. This coin is a unique example of how currency can be adapted to meet the needs of a country during times of economic hardship.
