<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1572156, member: 12789&quot;]During 1945-8 the Weimar era coins circulated, as did the Nazi era and post-Nazi Allied Occupation era coins with the Swastika removed.&nbsp; Most of the 1945-8 coins are pretty scarce though, really with inflation they did not have a whole lot of value anymore.&nbsp; The rarest examples were minted in the Russian zone in Berlin and in Muldenhutten - the latter are very rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1948 all earlier monies were demonetised and called in at 10:1, with depreciated provisions for savings accounts etc.&nbsp; Until the changeover most circulation was made up with paper money and not so much coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Curiously I found a Nazi era 1 pfennig from 1942 in a roll search of cents the other day, frankly I shuddered when I saw the narsty thing. I can deal with pre-1933 and post 1945 coins in my collection - but that era just doesn&#039;t have any collecting appeal for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
