Since the introduction of euro banknotes and coins, a number of German euro collector coins have been issued every year, which are only legal tender in Germany. Issues of these coins in mint condition can be purchased at all Bundesbank branches.

Bundesbank’s external position stood at €829 billion at the end of September 2026, with claims from the TARGET2 payment system worth €1004 billion making up around 65 % of total assets. These are followed by international reserves, comprising gold and foreign exchange reserves, including the special drawing rights allocated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which account for a total of 26 % of assets.
