The zinc '''10 Reichspfennig''' coin was minted by [[Nazi Germany]] between 1940 and 1945 during [[World War II]], replacing the bronze-aluminum version, which had a distinct golden color. It is worth 1/10 or .10 of a [[Reichsmark]]. Made entirely of [[zinc]], the 10 Reichspfennig is an emergency issue type, similar to the zinc [[1 Reichspfennig (World War II German coin)|1]] and [[5 Reichspfennig (World War II German coin)|5 Reichspfennigs]], and the [[aluminum]] [[50 Reichspfennig (World War II German coin)|50 Reichspfennig]] coins from the same period.
