Let's Go Back to WWII - In The Netherlands

My favourite period by far for coins is WWII. The period is littered with zinc and aluminium coins. The reason so many WWII coins are zinc or aluminium is because many base metals such as copper and nickel had to be used elsewhere for the production of war materials.

This is a 1942 Netherlands 10 Cent. Germany invaded The Netherlands on 10th May 1940. These coins were produced from 1941-1943!
