I picked up a 1938 2 Reischmark in the junk bin at the coin store for 8 cents.

In that same lot, I picked up 2 1956 Haiti 20 Centimes; it says they are nickel-silver in the World Coin book. Is that a combo of nickel and silver? |

Nickel silver (also known as German silver) is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. |

Its not in the best shape that is why I think it was thrown into the bin accidentally. I pick up the Nazi pfennings whenever I go through the bin and this time was lucky to get a silver ReischMark |
