Zwei Pfennig

Coin. Made in Germany 1980. Next I will take photographs of my 5.000 stamps. If you think I'm a Student of Mr. and Mrs. Becher, Düsseldorf because I do that - oh no. I'm a Student of Miss Becherovka, Czechoslovakia.

This coin could tell us a long story. Reminds me of "the good old times" :-). Best regards, Paul

Paul,really "good old times" with the DM. Germany paid with a very bad bad exchange rate for the Euro. All goods got expensive in Germany. Best regards, Franz

Hi Franz,

 

that's exactly the sentiment your photo evoked when I saw it and you seem to confirm that here; Germany wasn't the only country that paid dearly for the transition to the euro. Is that why the focus is on the top of the coin where it says 'D'? I like your message! Kind regards, Vincent

Hallo Vincent, thank you for your comment. The letters on german coins show where the coin was made. The "D" means that the coin was made in Munich (Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, München). A is Berlin, F=Stuttgart, G=Karlsruhe, J=Hamburg. Best regards, Franz

Mein ein Pfennig ist viel besser, Herr Weber! PDE
