<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1865378, member: 39&quot;]Apart from coin dealers, about 50 mints from all over the world have booths at the WMF. Every year there is a guest of honor; last year it was the Monnaie de Paris (France), this year&#039;s special guest was the Münze Österreich (Austria). I took a couple of photos inside and outside the Estrel Convention Center; here are a few. Note that, while the Perth Mint had its 1 tonne coin &quot;beast&quot; there, I did not photograph that. You can find plenty of photos elsewhere. Besides, how would I know that the thing is real? Behind that security glass ... it could have a plastic core, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Edit - Here is a <a href="http://www.worldmoneyfair.de/wmf/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/06/home2014_3.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worldmoneyfair.de/wmf/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/06/home2014_3.jpg" rel="nofollow">photo</a> of that thing from the World Money Fair website.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>We also had a fun meeting (of members of a German coin forum) where, fortunately, we did not talk about coins only. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Will I go back next year? Depends - Berlin is pretty far from where I live (in fact, even Paris is closer), but if I get a cheap airline ticket and accomodation again, I may do it again. Usually it is pretty darn cold in that part of Germany in late Jan/early Feb, but this year they had no snow. Hmmmm ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]314161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]314162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]314163[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]314164[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
