Das Geldmuseum stellt interessante oder außergewöhnliche Objekte vor.

Im Jahr 2017 hat die Bundesbank eine umfangreiche Studie zur Geschichte der Reichsbank, der Bank deutscher Länder und der frühen Bundesbank beauftragt. Was waren die Herausforderungen bei diesem Projekt? In welchem Kontext bewegt es sich? Und welche wesentlichen Erkenntnisse hat es zutage gefördert? Ein Interview mit den wissenschaftlichen Leitern, Magnus Brechtken und Albrecht Ritschl.

Last year, the Deutsche Bundesbank successfully completed the transfer of its gold stocks from New York. "The realisation of the gold storage plan is therefore well ahead of the original schedule," said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, Member of the Bundesbank’s Executive Board, at a press conference in Frankfurt am Main.

In 2023, the Bundesbank registered more counterfeit money in Germany than in the previous year. In total, there were around 56,600 counterfeit euro banknotes with a nominal value of €5.1 million. “The increase in counterfeit figures was driven by a handful of major cases of fraud, predominantly involving counterfeit €200 and €500 banknotes,” stated Bundesbank Executive Board member Burkhard Balz. Overall, the incidence of counterfeiting is still low and the risk to members of the public remains small, he said.
