The 2 Deutsche Mark coin from 1949-1989 typically holds numismatic value, which can vary based on its condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. Generally, these coins can be worth anywhere from a few euros to several dozen euros, depending on their specific year and mint mark. For precise valuation, it's best to consult a coin dealer or reference a current numismatic guide.
This was a common circulation coin until 2002 when Germany switched to the euro as its currency. At that time it was worth about $1 but now is obsolete and has little or no exchange value. It may sell for roughly that same dollar in circulated condition, while a nice uncirculated one would go for about $2.
This was a fairly common circulation coin until 2002 when Germany adopted the euro. The exchange value was about US$1. Circulated ones have no additional value. An uncirculated specimen is worth about US$6 as of 02/2013.
Not much, the coin you're describing is a 2 Mark coin, of which millions were in circulation. Unless it is in "mint uncirculated" condition, its value is purely as a curiosity, since the Deutsche Mark was replaced by the Euro.
The Deutsche Mark is no longer in use, having been replaced in 2002 by the Euro. However, the Deutsche Bundesbank (the central bank of Germany) will exchange them (except for the 1948 50 Deutsche Mark bill and the 1951 2 Deutsche Mark coin, both of which were demonetized about 50 years ago) for Euros at a rate of 0.51129 Euros per Deutsche Mark. This equates to 40.90 Euros. As of March 5, 2009, this is the equivalent of 36.41 British Pounds.
