<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 186695, member: 39&quot;]Maybe not a bargain, but certainly not overpriced either. Many of these Westfalen &quot;coins&quot; are in pretty good condition, since they were not issued or used for circulation but as fundraisers. The one trillion (&quot;1 Billion&quot;) mark piece, diameter 60 mm, even came out after the hyperinflation and was sold at a price of 2.50 RM.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;Führer&quot;, well, that simply means &quot;leader&quot; or &quot;guide&quot; - pretty common in German before and after the years that English language people will associate with the word. (When you want to buy a travel guide in a bookstore here, for example, you look for a <i>Reiseführer</i> ...) The inscription of the Westphalian piece means &quot;Germany&#039;s leader at a hard time&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
