Of course the old coins and notes are no longer in circulation, but they can still be exchanged into euros at the official rates that have been used since Jan-1999. For details see the European Central Bank&#039;s FAQ:</p><p><br /></p><p>http://www.ecb.int/change/eurobnfaq_en.htm#sec2</p><p>(scroll down to Sec. 2 Q. 6 - &quot;Where can I exchange national banknotes and coins, and for how long?&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>In Germany, for example, the Bundesbank (national central bank) should theoretically get 48 billion Mark and Pfennig coins back. So far roughly two thirds have been returned. Obviously quite a few people want to keep the old money ... and since it does not actually lose its value, they are not in a hurry <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>
