About Maastricht Paper Money Fair (MIF)

The MIF Paper Money Fair in Maastricht is one of the world's leading trade events dedicated to banknotes and paper money. Held twice a year at the MECC Maastricht exhibition centre, it draws specialist dealers, collectors and investors in banknotes, bonds and shares from around the globe.

While its focus is paper money, the fair also carries coins and related numismatic material.

History

The fair has established itself as the premier international venue specifically for banknote collecting — distinct from the broader coin shows — and is held in spring and autumn at Maastricht's MECC.

What to Expect

Expect a large specialist bourse weighted toward world banknotes, historical and modern, alongside scripophily (bonds and shares) and some coins. Grading services and international paper-money dealers are regular participants.
