[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 414663, member: 39"]Easy. You start where you want to start. Theoretically you could begin with Charlemagne (or the time after him, when the Carolingian Empire was divided) - but I would not do that. Germany as a country with one currency did not exist until 1871, so that could be a starting point. Then you may say that until 1918 the country was a monarchy (or federation of monarchies) and then became a republic, and focus on the post-WW1 coinage (Weimar Republic, Nazi Regime, Allied Occupation). Since this country - the Federal Republic of Germany - was founded in 1949, that or the '48 currency reform would be another good start. Or, collect the euro coinage only; such a collection won't be too comprehensive ... By the way, great name you have. :D Christian[/QUOTE]
