gregstempfle New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 2:12 pm I am almost done with my East Germany minor coin collection. I am sticking with coins that were issued for circulation, not just released in sets. This brings me to the anomalous 1990A 1 pfennig. The mintage is listed as 1,5670,000 however, I rarely see them on ebay and have never seen it go for less than $20. I have 29 other East German minor coins with a smaller mintage than this. Were these ever released into circulation or were they almost all melted down after reunification? Report this Post to the Staff

Other 1 Pfennig coins with low mintages (1972, 1973) are similarly expensive. Whether they were melted down, I don't know. By the way, the GDR replaced its currency with the DM (the Federal Republic's currency) on 1 July 1990. The country did not join the Federal Republic of Germany until 3 October 1990 -- and the GDR pfennig denominations (1 Pf to 50 Pf) even stayed in circulation, in the Eastern states, until the end of June 1991.
