Exhibition themes
The relocation of the Berlin State Mint from Berlin-Mitte to Reinickendorf in 2005 made it possible to integrate a museum into the foyer of the mint . A total of nine subject areas of the permanent exhibition deal with the history of coinage in the Berlin area.
- 725 years of coinage in Berlin
- Berlin medal art
- Early evidence of coinage in Berlin
- Locations of Berlin coinage
- Bad money displaces good money: During the Thirty Years War , traders gradually bought up Reichstaler and melted it down. The raw material thus created was then mixed with copper and used to mint new coins. During this tipper and wipper period , the coins deteriorated , which led to great unrest and the boycott of entire markets.
- The Eternal Pfennig is a 10 Mark commemorative coin that was minted in Berlin in 1981 for the 700th anniversary of minting . The coin contains an image of a silver pfennig from the Berlin mint from 1369 with the margrave with lance and sword on the main side and the Berlin bear running to the right on all fours on the reverse.
- The special and commemorative coins of the GDR - a separate collection area
- The technique of making coins
- A numismatic peculiarity: copper cuts from club thalers according to the Vienna Mint Treaty of 1857.
There are also changing special exhibitions. The interactive exhibition entitled KleinGeld , specially designed for children, has been loaned to another museum.
The museum has not been open to the public since 2018.
