This was a common circulation coin until 2002 when Germany adopted the euro as its currency. At the exchange rate in effect at that time it would be worth about 0.5 US cents. Today coins in average condition have little or no extra value. Even those in uncirculated condition retail for at most €1.
What ever some is will to pay for it.
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 1/100 of the German unit of currency
It's German, clearly, but you need to provide its denomination.

100 pfennig is equivalent to 1 Deutsche Mark, as there are 100 pfennig in one mark. The Deutsche Mark was replaced by the euro in 2002, with an exchange rate of approximately 1.96 Deutsche Marks to 1 euro. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the euro's value against the US dollar fluctuates but is generally around 1 euro to 1.10 to 1.20 USD. Therefore, 100 pfennig would be roughly equivalent to about $1.10 to $1.20 USD, depending on the current exchange rate.
Since "Deutschland" is German for the country of Germany, the coin in question would be from Germany. "Penny" here is a bit of a misnomer, however, since the equivalent of a penny in German currency would have been a "Pfennig." There were Pfennig coins in circulation from the 9th century until the introduction of the Euro/cent in 2002. It was in 1873 with the introduction of the Gold Mark its division by 100 to equal 100 Pfennige that 1 Pfennig was assigned the value of a penny (or one cent). Previously, the Pfennig had been a coin of more value.
Sorry that was suppose to say a mint mark of an "A" on the PFENNIG.

1¢. At the time it was replaced by the euro (2002) the Deutschmark was worth about 50¢ U.S.
