World Money Fair

World Money Fair

The World Money Fair is an international bourse of coins. A "bourse" is where dealers, collectors and the public buy, sell and trade coins.

In 1970 A. M Beck founded in Munich the "Organisation of European Coins-Bourses", "Organisation Europäischer Münzen-Börsen" (OEMB) in German. He had the idea to build up a stronger market for the collecting of coins.

Two years later the organisation organized in Basel the first international bourse of coins. During the time it was developed to the "World Money Fair". Today more than 40 nations are members of this organisation. In 2006, the bourse is at the first time in Berlin. At the start the German Secretary of State Karl Diller presented the new German 2 Euro Coin. It shows the Holstentor of Lübeck.

The most recent World Money Fair, the 37th edition was held on February 1-3, 2008 in Berlin at the Estrel Convention Center. The guest of honour at the 37th edition was The People's Republic of China .
