Where to change old DMs into Euros

I believe it's still possible to convert old dmarks
into euros. It's probably taken care of by the
Deutsche Bank. My question is where to go in
Munich? A search on "Deutschmark" on the
official website yields no results.
Any pointer is greatly appreciated.

AFAIK you can do it almost about everywhere, sometimes even a lot of shops take them or do special "Deutschmark Days" where you even get a discount if you pay in DM (at least they do that ecvery now and then in Berlin)

The German Central Bank (not to be confused with Deutsche Bank) exchanges DM into Euro at no charge.

For details, see here: (in German)

Walmart and C&A do the Deutsch-Mark-Days.

All LandesZentral Banks will convert DM to yoyo's...

The closest one is the LandesZentral Bank in Munich at Odenzplatz...

Leopoldstraße 234
80807 München

If you are not in Munich, then go HERE and get the contact info for the other landeszentralbanks in Bavaria /Germany
(Bavaria: Augsburg,Bayreuth,Nürnberg,Regensburg,Würzburg)

My mom came to visit recently and brought 200DM with her. Is it still possible to exchange DM for euros? If so, where? Thanks!

Landeszentralbank and the Bundesbank.

i bleieve you can still do it at most major banks. i still have about 500 kicking around that i really must get round to changing.

nope. their duty to change the notes and coins ended quite a while ago. You are only 100% guaranteed at the above mentioned banks.

oh, ta for the info OG. i'll have to get into munich one of these days then.

Bundesbank and Landesbank will do it indefinately for DM.

flippin eck, must be nice to have 250 euros that you don't really need, just kicking around doing nowt

well, i have to locate it first. it was 'in a sock' type of thing before we moved and now i have no idea where said 'sock' is.

Thanks guys, that's 220DM of useful info.

There is another way to get rid of old DMarks, and it is to give them away for a good cause .
The donated money goes to the UNICEF.

Hi,

Does anyone know if any banks or maybe the post office will still exchange DM?

My friends mum found 150 DM in notes in the back of a draw and naturally wants to change them if possible.

Cheers

Best adivce: use them as T.P.

In the run-up to conversion, the official advice was that there would be no time-limitation on being able to change your old Deutschmarks, but that you would have to do it at a state bank. As far as I am aware, this is still the case.
