Interesting fact

The 50 Pfennigs - Offenburg 1918 coin from the City of Offenburg (Federal state of Baden) made of Iron weighing 3.1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the use of alternative currencies, like this coin, became common.
