Interesting fact
The 6 Pfennigs 1622 coin from the City of Beckum (German States) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and this coin was one of the first standardized coins issued in the region. This coin was also unique because it was made of copper, which was a less valuable metal than the silver and gold coins that were also in use at the time. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the 6 Pfennigs coin was still widely accepted and used in trade, demonstrating the importance of standardization in facilitating economic activity.
