Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was not widely used in coinage until the mid-20th century, and it was often reserved for special issues or commemorative coins. The use of aluminum in the 50 Reichspfennig coin reflects the economic and political context of Germany during the 1930s, when the country was facing significant economic challenges and was looking for ways to reduce the cost of coin production.
