More information is needed. In 1817 Germany did not exist as a single country but was instead a collection of separate states and principalities, most of which issued their own coins. Could you post a new question listing something about the image and/or inscription? That way the coin could be traced to its issuing state.
Also, the styles used for German letters up to the middle of the 20th century can be hard for modern readers to decipher. If your coin does say "Deutschland" and not the name of a state such as Sachsen or Bayern, it's possible the date is actually 1917.

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.
A pfennig was 1/100 of the German unit of currency
50 to 75 cents, assuming average wear.
it is an old currency penny like the old value of a farthing in England

what is the value of a 1921 german 10 pfenning coin
The 1979 German 2 Pfennig is worth about 2 dollars depending on its condition. Some of these coins can be more valuable including the 5 Pfennig coin.
The 1 pfennig coin made in 1980 is a currency of the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany). It was part of the East German currency system, known as the Mark der DDR. The pfennig was a subunit of the Mark, with 100 pfennig equaling one Mark. After German reunification in 1990, the pfennig was phased out and replaced by the Deutsche Mark.
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.
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.
The value of a 1924 German penny varies greatly depending upon the condition of the coin and where the coin was made. The values vary between $6.75-$81.00.
