So I have been collecting The German 5 pfennig coin with the big eagle, and came across something interesting.
Why is it that every other year besides 1909 had a coin minted in Karlsruhe?

This also happens with other coin types and numerous years (but not with all skipped-date coins!). For example, this phenomenon has also occured in 1974, with the 1 gulden from the Netherlands. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces738.html In 1974, the demand for 1 Gulden's was simply too low so the Royal Dutch Mint skipped that year minting them.
