MIF Paper Money Fair Maastricht

The MIF Paper Money Fair – Maastricht International Fair – is recognized as the world’s leading trade event for banknotes, paper money, and related collectibles. Held twice a year, in spring and autumn, the modern MECC Maastricht Exhibition & Congress Center transforms into a central meeting point for collectors, dealers, investors, and professionals from around the globe. Organized by COINCHIQ BVBA, an experienced Belgian company with extensive expertise in the collectibles market, the fair stands out for its international scope and in-depth specialization, setting it apart from other industry events.

The MIF focuses exclusively on paper money – ranging from historic rarities to modern issues featuring advanced security features. Visitors gain valuable insights into key aspects of the field, including counterfeit detection, printing techniques, market analysis, valuation trends, and investment opportunities. The event brings together over 150 exhibitors from more than 40 countries, including leading auction houses, grading services, publishers, printers, and specialized dealers – a clear testament to its global relevance and professional excellence.

A highlight of the fair is the exclusive auction conducted by official partner Stack’s & Bowers Galleries, one of the foremost auction houses for paper money worldwide. Complementing the program, PMG (Paper Money Guaranty) offers on-site authentication and professional grading services. The Banknote Book powered by Greysheet also presents its comprehensive reference catalogues – essential tools for dedicated collectors and dealers alike.

The venue itself plays a key role in shaping the fair’s unique atmosphere. With its state-of-the-art facilities, MECC Maastricht provides the ideal setting for an international trade fair. Located in the historic university city of Maastricht in the heart of Europe, it is easily accessible by car, train, or via nearby airports. The city's rich heritage and cultural diversity further emphasize the international nature of the event and invite visitors to explore beyond the fair itself.
