Nazi Coins
The Reichsmark was the German currency from 1924 until 1948. The Reichsmark was subdivided into 100 Reichspfennig. These zinc coins were minted from 1940 through 1945, replacing the bronze and bronze/aluminum coins as part of the metal allocation efforts during the war. The white color is probably zinc oxide from the zinc coin reacting with oxygen.
