<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pragmatic, post: 2781642, member: 88312&quot;]When i looked at these photos i felt a numb. They look......well. no politics. No politics in the forum. No offence)) i don&#039;t mean to devalue your coins. They are just from an era that brought to humanity a lot of trouble.</p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer coins from israel.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I have only 4 pieces, 1 lira, 1/2 lira, 10 agorot and old shikel. Only the first in very good shape. But i like them because they reflect Jewish heritage. And if you offer me to choose between a very expensive UNC german coin gift vs a cheap G or VG israeli gift i would go for the second. Probably the affinity to the later is due to being in close proximity. We had many Jews in Egypt pre-Nasser era. They were Egyptian citizens with full rights. And the old buildings in Cairo and synagogues and Magen David at the facade of many buildings stand as a witness. Sadly, when Nasser came as a president, they were expelled to israel. One of the reasons I yearn to an era I haven&#039;t lived in Egypt (Kingdom of Egypt; era before 1952) is that all three religions were living together peacefully. I am only 33 years. It is just a wish if i could go back in time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
