Verkaufsstelle fur Sammlermunzen der Bundesrepublik

The Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, also known as the German Collector Coin Sales Office, is a division of the German Federal Ministry of Finance. It is responsible for the production, sale and distribution of collector coins in Germany.

The Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen was established in the early 1990s and is headquartered in Berlin. It produces a wide range of collector coins, including commemorative coins, gold and silver coins, and sets of coins. The collector coins produced by the Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen are legal tender in Germany, but they are not intended for circulation and are usually sold at a higher value than their face value.

The Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen is known for its high-quality coin production, and its use of innovative designs and technologies. They have introduced new coin designs that feature bi-metal and multi-color elements, as well as new security features to prevent counterfeiting.

The Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen also promotes the culture and history of Germany through its coin designs. Many of the designs on its coins feature traditional German symbols and motifs, such as historical figures, landmarks and national parks.

The Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen also plays an important role in promoting numismatics, the study and collection of coins, in Germany. The office frequently holds exhibitions and events to showcase its coin collections and to educate the public about the history and significance of coins.

In addition to producing collector coins, the Verkaufsstelle für Sammlermünzen also serves as a distributor of coins produced by other mints around the world. The office maintains a large inventory of foreign coins, including ancient and medieval coins, and makes them available for purchase to collectors and enthusiasts.
