Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 50 Pfennigs coin from Nuremberg (Bavaria) made of Zinc is interesting because it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of rapid inflation, known as the "Inflation of the 1920s." This coin was minted in 1923, and its value was equivalent to 50 Pfennigs, which was a significant amount of money at that time. However, due to the inflation, the value of the coin decreased rapidly, and by November 1923, it was worth only 1/100th of its original value. This coin is a reminder of the economic challenges that Germany faced in the early 20th century.
