Talk:German euro coins

I noticed that there are machines that do not accept German 2 Euro coins, but have no problem with French ones. Is this common? Andries 08:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

What does this mean?
"The berlinwood started in germany and thats why there coins are how they are.[1]". That's not English. What is it supposed to mean, anyway?

Mintage Quantities
The table seems very large for the article, should I exclude the mint mark differences and just have totals? Kevin hipwell (talk) 03:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If the table seems too large, split it up. I think the totals for the different mint marks is a good bit of information and should be kept. Cheers. The € • T/C 04:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Great idea, I split the table and added totals Kevin hipwell (talk) 05:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You guys are way ahead of me! Kevin I like what you did with the tables, it looks by far clearer and the information about the different mints separated is good, Good Job! Miguel.mateo (talk) 07:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * There's Data not available yet mentioned in so early as 2003 coins. I wonder if they ever will 'available'? Or are they now available when two years have passed since previous posts on this subject?
 * And why there is no total even when all five mints have their minted quantities on the table? 85.217.35.49 (talk) 01:37, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

New design
A new design on the German euro coins is expected in the near future to comply with these new guidelines

In the near future? Does not seem like that, over six years have now passed. 82.141.95.20 (talk) 10:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have removed that section because it was original research. Article. 8 of those new guidelines explicitly state that coin designs that were approved prior to the new recommendations are not required to be changed. The relevant German authorities have not yet announced any intention to change the design of their coins, so our claim was simply unfounded. Tvx1 12:22, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

2016 5€ coins
Hello!

Would this be the right place to talk about the German 5€ coins? I was looking for information about them and didn't find any on WP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.217.5.141 (talk) 18:55, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * No. This would be the place.Tvx1 16:08, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Mint letters
I had to do some research on this. I like that the article mentions the history behind it, but it is inprecise. You have to do your own research which ones were used for the last DMark etc. I think either you put a proper paragraph about the lettering, or you put in a link to it in the article about the DMark. Now, B Hannover, C Frankfurt and H Darmstadt were already closed in 1882, when E in Dresden just opened! So you could say that A D E F G J were used in all various German states until the creation of the two German states after WWII in 1949. After E Dresden, closed in 1953, in EAST GERMANY, A in Berlin remained the only one there. D F G J were used for Germany until 1990 when Berlin A also started minting there.

SO either just say that A D F G J were also used when the Mark was last minted, and don't mention how Dresden was the last one closed, or mention the details about the other three and which ones were used during seperation. Edit. My proposed edit: The letters were assigned to the mints as they opened. The mints in Hannover/Vienna (B), Frankfurt am Main (C), and Darmstadt (H) were closed by 1882. After the German seperation [ADD LINK], D, F, G and J were used for the Federal Republic of Germany, while the German Democratic Republic used Berlin (A) and Dresden/Muldenhütte (E) until it closed 1953. Berlin (A) also minted D Mark coins starting in 1990. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.154.81.212 (talk) 18:10, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
