<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 644953, member: 39&quot;]Ah, you can always take that coin to a Bundesbank branch office and get 26 cent for it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Yes, kidromeo is right - the older type, with &quot;Bank deutscher Länder&quot;, was supposed to be issued with the date 1949 only. Shortly afterwards the Federal Republic was founded, and the text on the 1950 issues was changed to reflect that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the mint in Karlsruhe accidentally made some pieces with BdL and 1950. Oh well, after a new announcement in the government bulletin, those could be issued too. Here is a comparison of the mintage figures (Karlsruhe/G only):</p><p><br /></p><p>1949 (BdL) 25.9 million</p><p>1950 (BdL) 30,000</p><p>1950 (BRD) 66.4 million</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t have a 1950 BdL coin in my collection, but I would be extremely cautious if I saw one, say, on eBay. Too many manipulations around ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
