How can I still convert Deutsche marks?

Question

How can I still convert Deutsche marks?

Answer 1

If you are in Germany you need to ask by some German Bank or bring to the Bundesbank in Frankfurt/M.

Answer 2

hi,

i'm from germany... and it doesn't work anymore.

sorry...

Answer 3

You should have open the treasure chest earlier. I don't think you can change DM into other currencies anymore. Best is you wait some more years and than sell them to collectors, but no harm done if you ask the central bank in your country. Good luck.

Answer 4

As said above, they can be exchanged at federal banks.I have no clue why some people keep telling that DM cannot be exchanged anymore.

Quote: "The Bundesbank's euro for DM exchange guarantee covers an unlimited amount of cash and runs for an indefinite period."

You can also mail the money, see link below.

Answer 5

Landeszentralbank and Bundesbank

Answer 6

You can still exchange your DM notes and coins at federal banks all over Germany.

Attention: the "Deutsche Bank" is not a federal bank, only the translation means "german bank".

There is a map with all federal bank offices and branches:

Answer 7

If you are actually in Germany, I think the "Landesbanken" still take your DMs and convert them for you. Here's a list of the banks where you can do this.

Answer 8

Hello,

I live in Germany...

You can exchange unlimited amounts of the banknotes and coins listed below indefinitely and free of charge at all Deutsche Bundesbank branches during the counter opening hours.

There are many places...

The link was in German - but this one is in English - with a map of where to find them...

http://www.bundesbank.de//hv/hv_filialen...

* Banknotes and coins from the Bank deutscher Länder (BdL) – with the exception of the 50 Mark BdL note II (green), issued in 1948 (exchange stopped on 15 March 1951)

* Bundesbank banknotes (banknote series BBk I/Ia and III/IIIa)

* Federal coins denominated in Deutsche Mark or Pfennig – with the exception of the 2 DM coin first issue (1951, withdrawn from circulation on 1 July 1958)

The 50 Mark BdL note mentioned above can be submitted together with an application for reimbursement (only available in German) to the National Analysis Centre at the Bundesbank's Mainz Regional Office or to any other Bundesbank branch.

Banknotes and coins that were issued prior to 20 June 1948 can no longer be redeemed or exchanged into euro.

Also if you are lucky, in some shops they will take small amounts of old Deutschmarks - in Erfurt there is a kebab shop that accepts them!! Look on the shop window/door to see. This is also possible in the bigger cities, including some supermarkets.
