    Did the Nazi Third Reich ever mint any gold or gold plated coins?

    		No, they did not.

    Reichspfennig and Reichsmark Nazi coins were initially made from quality metals - copper, silver, nickel, aluminium or an alloy. 1939 was the year that Hitler put Poland under the swastika and thus precipitated WW2. With war came many changes, the production of Nazi coins being just one. WW2 coincided with German mints ceasing production altogether of the silver Reichsmark Nazi coins. Further, all Reichspfennig Nazi coins were now produced in cheaper zinc.
