The Bundesbank facilitated the distribution of approximately 440 million banknotes and 102 million coins into East Germany to support this transition. source: washingtonpost.com

The tunnel, designed for 1,000 people, was overcrowded with up to 5,000 pilgrims, leading to suffocation and trampling. Many victims were from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Saudi officials attributed the disaster to crowd hysteria and the failure of the tunnel's ventilation system. source: washingtonpost.com
