[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 8392361, member: 87809"]Interesting is in the eyes of the beholder;) I do have one 100% zinc coin, 10 Reichspfennig, struck in Vienna 1944, which reflects the rise and fall of the Third Reich. That's why I find it interesting. Valuable? Not at all. From 1939 onwards, no precious metals like gold and silver were used to mint coins. Copper and nickel was needed for military purpose and silver had to pay the bills in Switzerland for imported goods. Because WW2 demanded not only financial but also natural resources even copper became an important material for the armament industries. That is why during the war coins were minted of zinc and aluminium.[/QUOTE]
