This dataset provides official cash-related statistical time series published by the Deutsche Bundesbank (Germany's central bank) under the BBTHB dataflow, accessible via the SDMX 2.1 REST API. A single endpoint serves data in multiple formats: XML (SDMX-ML), CSV (using the format=csv parameter), and JSON (format=json). Users can extract specific series by specifying a key path along with optional startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters, allowing precise retrieval of cash and currency-related economic indicators for use in charts, analyses, or further statistical processing at the national level for Germany.”Bargeld Zeitreihen für Grafiker (BBTHB) — official time series from the Deutsche Bundesbank, published as the BBTHB dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
