Are any pfennig coins worth anything?
From my experience, You will notice that most say “Bundesrepublik Deutschland”, but some say “Bank Deutscher Länder”, depending on the denomination that can be from 1948,1949, or 1950. The 1948 1 Pfennig are worth a few dollars even in lower grades. Anything in mint state would be worth some money.
What is a pfennig worth in US dollars?
Great question! A pfennig is the German version of a cent, that is 1/100th of a Mark. In 1999 terms 1.4 marks= US$1 making a pfennig equivalent to . 007 US cents. The pfennig (or similar spelling) denomination existed in some German States in 1800 but it is difficult to value in relation to U.S. money.
Is a 1950 Deutsche Mark silver?
In 1950, cupronickel DM1 coins were released, while a cupronickel DM2 and a . 625 silver DM5 were released in 1951. Cupronickel replaced silver in the DM5 in 1975.
