Last year's merger of the "World Money Fair" and the "Numismata Berlin" did apparently not work out as expected. So the two are now separate events:
The World Money Fair (Berlin/DE) is the biggest coin show on earth according to the WMF website but is focused on mint presentations and numismatic colloquiums. (Of course there are quite a few dealers too ...) Other WMF shows are in Basel/CH, where the WMF was until early 2005, and in Salzburg/AT. The next dates:
