Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Pfennigs - Weimar 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Weimar Republic. The inflation was so severe that the coin's value was equivalent to only a fraction of a cent in US dollars. Despite its low value, the coin is still sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
