<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1035896, member: 39&quot;]Sure, except that the German Empire (Deutsches Reich) ceased to exist in 1949 when the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR (East G., 1949-90) were founded. The Fed. Rep., however, is alive and well. Hmm, fairly well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Planck coin was introduced because the first 2 DM piece was too similar to the 1 DM coin. (That is also why that &quot;original&quot; 2 DM piece is the only coin from this country that cannot be redeemed any more.) What I like about the Planck coin is that it has his name. The later 2 DM coins show various statesmen of the Federal Republic - Adenauer, Brandt, etc. - but, just like US circulation coins, none says who the depicted person is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
