The CuNi variety - rare indeed, but had legal tender status - looks like any copper-nickel coin, e.g. the 1 and 2 DM coins from the Federal Republic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note: This 5 M coin was a circulating commem indeed. In 1971 the GDR issued another one, CuZnNi with the Brandenburg Gate. Appeared in circulation, mintage about 18 million in that year, with about 1.7 million not melted down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
