A pfennig coin made in Germany in 1969 typically has a collector's value rather than a significant face value as the Deutsche Mark ceased to be the currency in 2002. Depending on its condition and rarity, a 1969 pfennig coin could be worth a few cents to a few dollars to a collector.

A pfennig was one hundredth of the German unit of currency, the DMark. Since this was replaced by the Euro, a pfennig has no currency exchange value.
It is worth nothing. The Germans no long use the mark, but are on the Euro. When it was used a 50 pfennig was about 5 cents. One pfennig was a penny.
