曼弗雷德·邓克（Manfred Dunker），现代纪念硬币历史上最有影响力的人

在2025年柏林世界货币博览会上庆祝其30周年纪念日，该公司将向其最重要的员工致敬

Manfred Dunker, a pivotal figure in the commemorative coin industry, will be honored by MDM Münzhandelsgesellschaft Deutsche Münze on the occasion of its 30th anniversary at the World Money Fair in Berlin on January 29, 2025. Dunker, who retired over a decade ago, played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of numismatics.

Manfred Dunker是纪念硬币行业中的关键人物，将在2025年1月29日在柏林的世界货币博览会上30周年之际，MDMMünzhandelsgesellschaftDeutscheMünzeMünze在2025年1月29日退休。在塑造钱币学的景观中起着至关重要的作用。

Beginning his career as a product manager at Dr. Oetker, Dunker gained recognition for introducing the world's first frozen pizza, a product that went on to become a staple in European grocery stores. A collector from a young age, Dunker joined Richard Borek's small coin unit in 1985, envisioning its potential to become a driving force in the coin industry. He renamed the company MDM, an acronym that stood for Münzhandelsgesellschaft Deutsche Münze, rather than Manfred Dunker Münzenhandel as البعض suggested.

邓克（Dunker）从Oetker博士担任产品经理的职业生涯，因介绍世界上第一个冷冻披萨而获得认可，该产品随后成为欧洲杂货店的主食。邓克（Dunker）是一个年轻时的收藏家，于1985年加入了理查德·鲍雷克（Richard Borek）的小硬币部门，设想其成为硬币行业的驱动力的潜力。他更名为MDM，这是一个代表MünzhandelsgesellschaftDeutscheMünze的首字母缩写，而不是Manfred DunkerMünzenhandel，正如建议的。

Under Dunker's leadership, MDM grew exponentially, eventually employing 600 people. Prior to his involvement, commemorative coins were issued infrequently by European countries, but Dunker's influence inspired national banks and state mints around the world to expand their发行 of such coins in base metal, silver, and gold. MDM played a significant role in assisting with sales and distribution. Dunker was particularly influential in the development of Olympic coins for events including Barcelona, Albertville, Lillehammer, Sydney, Torino, and Beijing.

在邓克（Dunker）的领导下，MDM成倍增长，最终雇用了600名员工。在他参与之前，欧洲国家很少发行纪念硬币，但邓克的影响力激发了全球国家银行和州造币厂，以扩大其在基准金属，银和黄金中的此类硬币。 MDM在协助销售和分销方面发挥了重要作用。邓克（Dunker）在开发奥林匹克硬币的发展中，包括巴塞罗那，艾伯特维尔，里尔哈默，悉尼，都灵和北京等活动。

After leaving MDM in the mid-90s, Dunker rejoined the coin industry following a noncompetition period, becoming managing director for Samlerhuset in Germany. Samlerhuset later acquired MDM, merging the two companies, with Richard Borek taking a 1/3 stake and Norwegian shareholders Reidar Nilsen and Ole Bjørn Fausa holding the remaining 2/3 together with a group of smaller Norwegian shareholders.

在90年代中期离开MDM之后，邓克（Dunker）在不竞争期间重新加入了硬币行业，成为德国Samlerhuset的董事总经理。 Samlerhuset随后收购了MDM，并将两家公司合并，Richard Borek拿走了1/3的股份，挪威股东Reidar Nilsen和OleBjørnFausa与一群较小的挪威股东一起持有其余2/3。

Dunker served as the driving force behind the new German coin company in Europe. When Samlerhuset acquired MDM in 2001, the company was facing challenges, but thanks to Dunker's commercial acumen, sales quadrupled within a short period, restoring MDM to a prominent position in the German coin industry. Samlerhuset sold MDM back to the Borek family in 2008.

邓克（Dunker）担任欧洲新德国硬币公司背后的动力。当Samlerhuset在2001年收购MDM时，该公司面临着挑战，但是由于Dunker的商业敏锐度，销售额在短时间内三倍，将MDM恢复到了德国硬币行业的重要地位。 Samlerhuset于2008年将MDM卖给了Borek家族。

Manfred Dunker is credited with introducing subscription of new issues to the coin industry and played a pivotal role in expanding the family of coins to include many small countries around the world, contributing to making commemorative coins a valuable source of income for Pacific islands and other countries. Dunker's influence was particularly evident in the 90s and 00s, when Olympic coin collecting soared in popularity, with over a million people collecting one or more Olympic coins.

曼弗雷德·邓克（Manfred Dunker）因向硬币行业介绍新问题的订阅而被认为，并在扩大硬币家族中发挥了关键作用，以包括世界上许多小国，有助于使纪念硬币成为太平洋群岛和其他国家的宝贵收入来源。邓克的影响在90年代和00年代尤为明显，当时奥林匹克硬币收集在受欢迎程度上，有超过一百万的人收集了一枚或多个奥林匹克硬币。

Manfred Dunker is widely regarded as the most influential figure in the history of modern commemorative coins and is likely unmatched by any other European in terms of recruiting new collectors to the hobby.

曼弗雷德·邓克（Manfred Dunker）被广泛认为是现代纪念硬币历史上最有影响力的人物，并且在将新的收藏家招募到爱好方面，任何其他欧洲人都可能无与伦比。
