Interesting fact
The 50 Pfennigs - Olpe 1920 coin from the City of Olpe (Prussian province of Westphalia) made of Zinc weighing 3.6 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, like this coin, to combat the inflation.
