Hello Everyone... Been a very busy few months....I am heading to Germany for a week this Saturday. I will be looking for some notes and things.... I cant promise too much but if you have any special request, I will be open to looking for it. This trip will be a business trip so I am not sure how much time I have..but I will try. Just send me a PM and I will give a look at what we can do. Regards, RickieB
Daggerjon - In case you are as ignorant as I am about the meaning of "bejahen", the answer to your question is that yes, Germany was one of the original issuers of Euros.
yes Roy, i was, thank you for the clarification! i was going to try to set up a deal for some German currancy from circulation, but i have little interest in the Euro Enjoy your trip RickieB!!!!
Germany is issuing a series of 2 Euro coins similar to the U.S. 50 States Quarters programme,but it is one coin each year to commemorate each of the current German states.This year,Germany is issuing 2 commemorative 2 Euro coins,as the 50th. anniversary of the Treaty of Rome is being marked this year.

Spock1k,what does 'bejahen' mean? I've never heard of it before,& I don't even know what language it comes from. Aidan.
Man, you just want a vacation from all of us, don't ya Rickie? Lol, have fun on your trip, and you'll be missed! Phoenix
Naaahhh...the Hotel I stay at has wirless....so I will check in from time to time. But thanks for the thoughts!! RickieB
Its a new term for medal coins . Just kidding it mean yes in German. There is some good news. NGC has graded the sovereign a 64 hooray
It's German for "say yes" or rather "answer (a question) with yes". Which is also why it does not make much sense to say that as a reply to a question. @Daggarjon: Yes, Germany has been using the euro since 1999, and euro cash since 2002. But of course you can always collect other coins or notes. Christian
i know ... but earlier notes that were in use prior to the Euro, are now considered collectors items ( i would think) and therefore would cost more then just face value... i was hoping to get some at face. I will keep looking ....
well i just came back from holland. you wont find any older notes in circulation. The entire currency has changed
Well, if you replace a currency with another one, there is a change indeed. But in most euro countries that change happened more than five years ago. (Slovenia switched this year, and now that the ECB and the Commission gave their OK today, Cyprus and Malta are very likely to follow on 1 January.) You can of course still exchange pre-euro notes into euro cash, but that does not work the other way round. With very few exceptions, the DM notes are worth face value, so people usually take them to the central bank and do not sell them. But I would still try eBay first ... Christian
The same thing does not apply to the Ostmark notes though.You can find the odd East German banknote up for sale on eBay.They're of historic interest,especially to the German collectors. Aidan.
Correct, while the Bundesbank will exchange any coins and notes ever issued in this country (the Federal Republic of Germany), it will not redeem those from other countries. The latter also applies to the cash issued by countries that later joined the Federal Republic, ie. Saarland in 1957, the ex-GDR states (East G.) in 1990. Christian
