<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 749330, member: 39&quot;]As I mentioned before, every coin or note ever issued in this country (Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Federal Republic of Germany), between when it was founded in 1949 and today, can be redeemed and turned into euro cash &quot;forever&quot;. The one single exception is the 2 DM coin issued in 1951, no idea why. But that is worth much more than face anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, of course the coins and notes from earlier or different countries are not valuable in this country any more. Try and spend Confederate currency in the US. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But the Swiss coins depicted here show very nicely that this is not necessarily a matter of political changes. The economic and political system in Switzerland today is by and large the same as a couple of years ago, and yet these two &quot;older&quot; coins are not legal tender any more ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
