Message:: [QUOTE="Hotpocket, post: 1929518, member: 44182"]I have been collecting coins from Germany for about 10 years now, and I had always ignored the Germany East Africa coins, as I was not very interested in colony coins and was not a huge fan of their design (over other German States coins).  Having said that, there seems to be much more demand for these coins over the past few years with prices increasing pretty significantly (the 2 Rupie coins especially). I wonder if it has to do with countries like Germany joining the EU and no longer producing its own currency - maybe there is more nostalgia for the coins due to the feeling that an entire era of coin "art" has come to an end.  Will you be collecting Euros anytime soon? I know I won't... (By the way, that wasn't a "slam" to Euro collectors. I know there are collectors out there for Euros, and if that's your thing, great.  I am not very interested in moderns.) <img src="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/coins/common/shared/img/de/2e.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/coins/common/shared/img/de/50c.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/coins/common/shared/img/de/5c.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> meh....[/QUOTE]
