Germans.
30¢ at the exchange rate in effect when Germany switched to euros.

How much is a 1962 Deutschland 2 cent penny worth
im not sure if this is right but i think its because brown snakes were needed as a control.
It's an ordinary circulation coin that was used up till Germany switched to euros in 2002. At the exchange rate in effect at the time, 10 pfennigs (note spelling) were worth about a nickel.
A pfennig is a German "penny" and would not have gold in it. Would normally be brass or copper. If shinned up can look much like gold
This is an ordinary circulation coin that was used up till the introduction of the euro in 2002. At that time a mark was worth about 50¢ U.S. and there were 100 pfennigs in a mark, so the lowly little 1-pf coin was worth all of a half a cent.
No such coin - Germany did not issue 5 cents. They issued 5 pfennigs. Also date not known. Condition is most important.
5 Pfennig coins are small and made of brass-clad iron or of bronze; five Mark coins are big and made either of silver or cupro-nickel.
5 marks or 5 pfennigs? Please post a new question with the coin's denomination and any other wording you can make out. Don't worry about the fact that it's in German - ich kann's übersetzen.
