Do 5 Deutschmark coins have value?

Have 5 five DM coins from when I was stationed



in Heidelberg.





Visiting this summer and wonder if they can be



redeemed snd if so, what value.





Thanks in advance.

5 DEM ~ 3.48 USD





You can exchange them only at branches of the Bundesbank (the German Central Bank).



http://www.bundesbank.de/hv/hv.en.php



Select a main branch and than click on %26quot;Filialen%26quot; in the left menu.



The branches are normally only open on weekday mornings.





Or you throw the coin into a collecting box e.g. in a church or museum. Here such coins are collected and exchanged when the amount is high enough to justify a visit of a Bundesbank branch.

Thank you.

You could also speak to a coin shop or post it on eBay -- collectors are still seeking out pre-Euro currencies. It still won%26#39;t be worth much, though.
