The most beautiful exhibition stands at the World Money Fair

The Tower Mint

The Tower Mint had really gone to great lengths with its stand! The guest of honor at WMF 2026 lived up to its name and presented a tower in the style of its own logo.

Austrian Mint

The Austrian Mint’s stand is always an eye-catcher with its alpine hut and iconic cow, this time covered in snow. It was the absolute highlight for countless children of all ages, who enthusiastically trudged through the artificial snow. Some did so with such enthusiasm that their mothers could only pull them away with gentle force, while others (older children) did so more secretly, but with genuine pleasure.

Swissmint

With the Swiss cross, Swiss chocolate, and Swiss design, Swiss coins practically sell themselves. In any case, the medals that Swissmint brought to the World Money Fair sold out in record time. And the fact that the team then won a WMF Award for the “Aviation” commemorative coin put everyone in a great mood!

Mennica Polska

Every year, visitors to the Polish Mint’s stand are treated to a new surprise. This time, it was a talking hologram of its founder, King Stanisław August Poniatowski, who established the mint 260 years ago on February 10, 1766. He talked about its origins and invited visitors to come to the stand. Unfortunately, the hologram refused to be photographed, so here is a not-so-nice picture of the side entrance.

Kremnica Mint

Few mints today still have as many machines and facilities from the early days of industrialization as the Kremnica Mint. It is not only a mint operating on the world market, but also an industrial monument, and it played to its strengths with the help of its impressive exhibition stand.

The Romanian Mint

The Romanian Mint presented itself in an almost exotic manner. A wooden gate, the kind usually only seen in the wood-rich Maramureş region, led into the stand. Even today, wealthy farmers there take pride in owning the most magnificent wooden gate. This not only whets the appetite for Romanian coins, but also for a visit to the country. Perhaps first to Bucharest, where the Romanian Mint is located.

CIT

The Liechtenstein-based company CIT Coin Invest scores highly every year with its classic elegance. We can look forward to 2027, when CIT will be Guest of Honor.

Germania Mint

Germania Mint takes a different approach. Children were allowed to dress up in front of their poster and have their photo taken with Germania Mint employees, who were also dressed up. Incidentally, contrary to what its name suggests, this mint is a Polish company based in Jelenia Góra, or Hirschberg in German, at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains, near the Czech and German borders.

Sack & Kiesselbach

The elegant design of Sack & Kiesselbach proves that technical company stands don’t have to be boring and dull. Okay, they also have the advantage that blue is my personal favorite color.

Sack & Kiesselbach represents the many companies in the coin industry that incur high costs to bring their own machines to the WMF so that the public can experience how complicated coin minting is.

National Bank of Ukraine

American artist Elana Hagler drew our attention to the colorful booth of the National Bank of Ukraine on LinkedIn and provided us with a magnificent photo. Elana has a keen eye, after all, she is a coin designer herself. She designed the reverse side of the 2022 quarter in honor of Dr. Sally Ride, as well as the front side of the 2020 Presidential Dollar for George H. W. Bush.

T&S Coins

For the third time, the Lithuanian coin issuer T&S Coins participated in the World Money Fair. This year, they presented themselves at an impressive stand, of which Ruta Mikaliukštytė was justifiably proud. Sie writes about it: In its third year of participation, T&S Coin showcased a compelling journey through its creations — from the Black Mark and Pirates series and the ultra-high-relief Ganesha release to an impressive and growing collection of gold coins, which has just been expanded with a new gold release. The display also showcased custom project coins and outstanding silver craftsmanship.

Certified Collectibles Group

It’s not easy to design a stand that presents three related brands in such a way that you can see they belong together, but at the same time are not identical. Anna Paris is rightly proud of how this was achieved in Berlin.
