However, this was only the official justification – there was actually another, equally important, if not decisive, reason:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Reasons for the final demise of the Silver Eagle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe rising silver price was the main reason for the discontinuation of the Silver Eagle circulation coins. Another reason is speculated to be complaints from vending machine manufacturers, as increasing numbers of 5-DM coins were being counterfeited, leading to a significant loss of revenue. To counteract this, the Federal Ministry of Finance awarded the industry a contract to produce a special coin material that could be easily recognized as genuine money by modern vending machines. The choice fell on the \"magnetic material\" developed by ThyssenKrupp, called \"Magnimat.\" It has a special magnetizable nickel core that could be quickly and reliably recognized as a genuine coin by an electromagnet inside a vending machine. Counterfeiting this material proved to be so technically complex that it would not have been worthwhile for criminals. This finally put a stop to massive coin counterfeiting. This was probably kept secret because there were still some older machines that still accepted the old silver eagles, even though they had been officially out of circulation since August 1, 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Money Art Berlin","offers":[{"title":"29 mm \/ 625 \/ 1000 silver","offer_id":31799196090437,"sku":"","price":199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/5704\/7599\/products\/Germany5DMSshoppos1.jpg?v=1598264604"},{"product_id":"deutschland-1-deutsche-mark","title":"Germany \/ 1 Deutsche Mark","description":"\u003cp\u003e Deutsche Mark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Deutsche Mark was introduced as legal tender in the Trizone on June 21, 1948, and three days later in the three western sectors of Berlin as part of the 1948 currency reform, replacing the Reichsmark as the legal currency unit.
