He recently found this 50 pfenning coin from 1921 in a farm field near our house in Germany.
After some research he found that the coin is made of aluminum and was constructed during the hyperinflation period between World War I and World War II. This was a period of time when money was more valuable as fuel for fires than as currency.
This coin is relatively easy to find through dealers and worth around $1-$5 today depending on the condition.
