<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3348320, member: 39&quot;]Got back from Berlin last night, terribly tired, so the report had to wait. But I am happy to see that others went to, and wrote about, the World Money Fair as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886625[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The WMF is on three days - or six if you include the auctions and workshops &quot;around&quot; it. I only went on Saturday, and had a good time. As for the photos, I did not take any at the booths and tables of the dealers; that is usually frowned upon, especially with customers around. So here we have a few mint booths:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886626[/ATTACH]</p><p>The Austrian Mint (this year&#039;s special guest) with a, surprise, alpine scenery.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886627[/ATTACH]</p><p>The Royal Dutch Mint. Not really &quot;royal&quot; - that is an honorary title that various companies have - and not really Dutch - it is now owned by a Belgian company - but they had (and sold) both coins and medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886628[/ATTACH]</p><p>This I found somewhat peculiar. Big, partly golden, but what the heck ...?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886629[/ATTACH]</p><p>Well, it was a poster advertising a new Liechtenstein coin. And since LI does not do that very often, they needed something attention grabbing, I suppose ...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886630[/ATTACH]</p><p>This grabbed the attention of more visitors, I think. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The Berlin Mint (one of the five German mints that also make coins for DE) had a booth with a coin press that visitors could operate, and then take their self-made medal home.</p><p><br /></p><p>(To be continued)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
