1980-A German Democratic Republic 1 Pfennig!


Aluminum: a metal that seems to be common among cents these days. If they're still being produced, that is. East Germany is no longer around and does not produce any money at all. I suppose they were ahead of the curve. East German coins seem to be hard to come by, although they are not rare at all. This example is worth just $0.10 but it is the first East German 1 pfennig coin I've ever come across. And on top of that I've only found three East German coins period before this one. I don't mind it though since I prefer pre-1949 German coins to newer ones but still, I don't think it should be easier for me to get 100 year old coins than it is to get 20 year old coins.
