The 40th World Money Fair anniversary was celebrated in Berlin, Germany, from the 28th to the 30th of January 2011. This year's guest of honor was the Mint of Poland. There was a technical forum on the 27th and lectures given on the 28th.
A week later, 5th and 6th of Feb, another exhibition was scheduled by the World Money Fair at Basel, Switzerland. Many exhibitors, including PMCEX, from Switzerland were present with a wide variety of coins. A few brought antiques, paper money and other collectible items.
The majority of the visitors are German speakers but that is not considered a barrier because when it comes to selling, buying or trading coins it is easy to communicate. You look at the coin, if you like it you ask for the price. If their is a language issue then the price is written down. Then you buy it if you like it. That simple.
During the exhibition we met various people from different countries. Some of them who were dealers but were only visiting come to the fair to buy coins and take them back to their country for the purpose of reselling them. Many of them come to the Basel fair because they are able to find a variety of coins at a good price and quality.
We at PMCEX were extremely happy to have participated in our first Basel coin fair. It is always nice to see a nice turnout and the variety of coins that the dealers have.
