How did Zollverein strengthen the national sentiments in the German state?

Answer 1

It abolished number of currencies from thirty to two facilitating economic development and hence promoting nationalist sentiments. Large number of currencies was a barrier in economic growth so creation of Zolleverin enhanced the growth and unhindered movement of people & currency along the borders.
