Two Pfennigs 2001 (mint sets only), Coin from Germany - detailed information
| ||||||||||||||||||
The 2 Pfennig coin, abbreviated 2 Pf., was the second smallest circulating denomination of the Deutsche Mark (German mark), which was the official currency of West Germany from 1948 until 1990 and later of unified Germany from 1990 until 2002. It was equal to 2/100 of a Mark. In 1999, the Deutsche Mark was replaced by the Euro; its coins and banknotes remained in circulation, defined in terms of euros, until the introduction of euro notes and coins on 1 January 2002. In preparation for the event, Germany stopped issuing new pfennig coins. Some were struck for the mint sets of the year (in uncirculated and in proof grades), but none were issued into circulation. All coins of this type were demonetised only one year later, and were not acceptable as payment after 28 February 2002. This was the last year when two pfennig coins, and coins of the Deutsche Mark currency in general, were issued. | ||||||||||||||||||
