Anyone from or been to Germany?

Question

I have an extra credit question for school. Does anyone have any idea what "magnetic parkmunze" is?

Answer 1

Well the word magnetic is the same in German and English

A Parkmünze is a coin you can use to pay a parking space.

Now this is normally done by a parking ticket.

Answer 2

Hallo

I am from germany (Hamburg).

a) yes, "Parkmünze" is a special coin. Not very common today, except at special parking places. Today plastic cards or codes are used

b) "magnetic" is wrong. The german word for "magnetic" is "magnetisch" (edit: "magnetischE", because "Die Parkmünze" is female)

c) I never heard the word "magnetische Parkmünze" before! Magnetische WHAT??? Perhaps you mean a plastic card, like a credit card?

best wishes

Answer 4

Hartmut and not Andrea is right! 'magnetic' is not German...the German word is 'magnetisch'! And there are no 'magnetische Parkmünzen' in Germany. You use normal coins and there's no parking ticket machine in Germany that works with a 'magnetic Parkmünze'.

Answer 5

Andrea hit it right on the nose!
