<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2526613, member: 39&quot;]That paragraph is primarily about the question what country could be considered the origin of some cultural heritage object, i.e. which country&#039;s export laws would apply. A dealer who wants to import such an object is obliged to get an export license along with the object - if the laws of the country of origin require that.</p><p><br /></p><p>A little later, in the paragraph that starts with &quot;Die Feststellung des korrekten Herkunftsstaates&quot;, the fact that ancient Roman coins for example circulated in an area that today is about 40 countries is mentioned. Not that this would be news <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> but the last sentences of that paragraph say that such a coin would be an object with several possible countries of origin, and that it is not clear yet how this issue will be addressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin collector in DE wants to sell his collection to somebody in a different country, the value threshold of €50,000 for non-EU countries continues to apply. What is new is a €100,000 threshold for exports to other EU member states.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a professional seller (dealer) is required to provide documentation if a cultural heritage object has a value of more than €2,500. That will be the easier part. The other criterion is &quot;archeological relevance&quot; which affects extremely rare coins. If you enter &quot;Münze&quot; or &quot;Münzen&quot; at <a href="http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/</a> , you will get 26 results only, and most of these are collections, not single coins ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
