Germany

Germany has a long and storied history in the bullion industry, dating back to the Middle Ages when it was a major center for silver mining and minting. Today, Germany is home to several major bullion refineries and mints, including Heraeus and Degussa, that produce a range of high-quality gold and silver bullion products. In addition to standard bars and coins, German bullion products often feature unique designs, such as those featuring iconic German landmarks or historical figures.

Otto von Bismarck sowed the seeds of unifying Germany's countless states in the 1870,s. But although he introduced a central bank with a common currency many former small states still produced their own coinage. The Mayer Mint started producing 20, 10 and 5 Mark coins for national use in 1871. No gold coins have been minted in Germany since 1915, but in 2001 the German mint produced the Deutsche Mark Commemorative gold coin before the country joined the Euro.

There are five mints in Germany now: Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, each having their own individual Mint-mark. Addresses of these mints are hard to find so all communication has to go through the head organisation in Bad Homburg.
