Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium bronze is that it was introduced in 1924 as a replacement for the previous issue of 50 Pfennig coin, which was made of silver. This change in material was due to the inflationary pressures of the time, which made silver coins impractical for everyday use. The Aluminium bronze coin was a more affordable and practical option, and it remained in circulation until the end of the Second World War in 1945.
