tabbs Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 In early February, the word's largest (?) coin show will open in Berlin again - the "World Money Fair". About 250 exhibitors from 60 countries will be there, with 55 participating mints from all continents. This year's guest of honor is Kazakhstan; the Kazakhstan Mint will for example present a bimetallic silver-tantalium coin. There will be two Künker auctions (on 1 Feb), and a "classical" coin show. Also, at the International Media Forum about two dozen mints present their new programs and innovations (in English) on Friday. A few coins will be issued on the first day of the WMF, such as the German €2 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coin and the "Palais Grand-Ducal" €2 piece from Luxembourg.

tabbs Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Seems that about 11,000 visitors were there. About 1,500 bought the WMF Coin Passport which cost €10 and could then, at the booths of 29 participating mints, be filled with coins. Next year's World Money Fair will be on 1-3 February 2008, again at the Estrel Convention Center. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
