World Money Fair 2024 in Berlin: Thousands of numismatic enthusiasts attend the world's largest coin fair!

_Berlin, February 5, 2024_ – The world-renowned coin fair, World Money Fair, has once again reaffirmed its position as the hub of the international numismatics sphere. From February 2nd to 4th, approximately 300 exhibitors from 50 nations showcased their offerings in the Estrel Congress Center in Berlin. Featured were not only collector's items and enthralling coin and medal innovations, but also novel techniques in manufacturing and minting.

The dedicated team led by fair director, Goetz-Ulf-Jungmichel, had comprehensively revamped the World Money Fair, held since 1972, in many respects. The results were remarkable; the fair recorded approximately 13,500 visits over the three days on its 9,000 square meter exhibition space at Berlin's Sonnenallee, a striking new attendance record. "Our goal is to further develop the World Money Fair into the world's most attractive numismatic marketplace," says Goetz-Ulf Jungmichel. "With World Money Fair 2024, we have taken a significant step towards our objective."

The fair had started for trade visitors already on February 1. In the "Technical Forum", mints and manufacturers showcased numerous innovations related to coin and medal production. The auction by the Osnabrück auction house Künker was also a big success on Thursday, achieving around 11 million euros from 770 lots of rare coins and medals - about 4 million euros more than expected.

The public fair days from Friday to Sunday were dominated by exclusive fair mintings, some of which sold out within hours. Guest nation France, in collaboration with the state mint "Monnaie de Paris", presented the multi-part series of official 2-euro commemorative coins carrying the "Paris 2024" emblem of the summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Other highlights included the new "Live Stage" at the fair's entrance, where coin dealers and minting stations presented their latest products, beginner's advice for collectors provided by the Professional Association of the German Coin Trade, and the new "World Money Fair Club".

The World Money Fair will continue to evolve in 2025. Goetz-Ulf Jungmichel announces further innovations for the fair, which will take place again in Berlin from January 30th to February 1st, 2025: "We will adjust the duration of the fair from Thursday to Saturday and make the Technical Forum even more professional, among other things. We will also re-group the World Money Fair's themes and design a hall tour." The guest country for the coming year is Switzerland, represented by the Swiss Federal Mint Swissmint.
