I attended my first 3 years of high school at the USA Department of Defense Munich American High School in the capital city of the German state of Bavaria – Munich. I lived 1 hour bus ride south in a valley on our smallest & most secret National Security Agency (NSA) base which Hitler built in 1936 outside a small spa town just 20k from the last mountain of the German Alps & on a clear day could see from our apartment the first mountains of the Austrian Alps 45 minutes drive away. I speak German as my second language (my German teacher at MAHS for those 3 years was a Norwegian Governess living in Germany teaching at an American high school! LOL). It was 1976-1979 & I toured Berlin by traveling on the ” troop train” through communist East Germany to West Berlin & had the time of my life! Everything you could want in a large city with a very special history. I bought some coins at a dealership & at a flea market in the old subway tunnels with old subway boxcars converted to little antique stores! I had the best Chinese food outside of The Hague, Netherlands in Berlin! And we stayed just 2 blocks off the main strip with a widow who ran a bed & breakfast in her 3 story row house. Simply an amazing 4 days, 3 nights. It was expensive then & even more so now I hear as Germany is the powerhouse of the EU. High standard of living & high wages = expensive for tourists! Check out the youth hostels for affordable accommodations. You will have a great time in a great metropolitan city for sure Mouse (almost all Germans now speak English since it has been mandatory for all their 4 years of high school since at least when I lived there).

Could just imagine the coinage you have acquired along the way / precious metals or not – all historical. While in Berlin, I will plan to tour the land and take in the history…and the awesome money festival.

As a healthcare professional for more than 27 years, I would give it up in a heartbeat to become a salvage / treasure hunter. Not only for the excitement of the hunt but also unearthing history for the masses.

You all have in going on down south, up here coin shows are a flea market compared to what you all get to experience lol Gotta save my bucks so I can travel to a US show, not only to net work but to hopefully see such a historical treasure trove.

My savings account is for next years Berlin money festival, never been to Germany, and to network and meet the international market / community will be exciting.
