<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1839736, member: 39&quot;]As for the coins that have not been redeemed so far, well, they will either be in collections (such as mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) or &quot;lost&quot; somewhere. Actually the number of coins I mentioned translates to about 55 percent - so roughly half of the coins, value wise, have not been turned in ... and are not likely to be redeemed.</p><p><br /></p><p>(With DM notes that is a little different: 170 million notes are &quot;missing&quot;, about 4 percent of the total volume.) Well, there is no deadline, you can always get your DM cash, coins or notes, exchanged. So why bother? Whatever &quot;sits&quot; in albums, vaults or mattresses, here or (especially with paper money) in other countries, will not become worthless. Agreed, such relatively modern coins are not exactly sought after. And yet they (actually mostly euro coins) happen to be what I focus on ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I just had a brief look at MA-Shops, and some sellers there have the 1 DM 1954: <a href="http://ma-shops.com/shops/maCategory.php5?catid=134&amp;catName=J.+385+-+1+Mark&amp;lang=en&amp;sortby=jahr_norm&amp;curr=USDEUR&amp;save=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ma-shops.com/shops/maCategory.php5?catid=134&amp;catName=J.+385+-+1+Mark&amp;lang=en&amp;sortby=jahr_norm&amp;curr=USDEUR&amp;save=1" rel="nofollow">http://ma-shops.com/shops/maCategory.php5?catid=134&amp;catName=J. 385 - 1 Mark&amp;lang=en&amp;sortby=jahr_norm&amp;curr=USDEUR&amp;save=1</a> These are all years; you can narrow the search down by entering a date in the &quot;Search in ...&quot; field.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the best for 2014 -- I am now &quot;gone&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
