<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7788461, member: 115909&quot;]Thats a fair point. I just feel like lately foreign governments have been using laws to take wealth from foreign citizens &amp; companies in an unjust manner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Especially when you factor in the other stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like lately how many of the European countries are constantly suing Google, Facebook, Apple etc., and then demanding huge fines.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s like they need money but don’t want to take it from their own citizens so they take it in other ingenious ways without making it look obvious.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as “cultural artifacts” I think they should at least pay fair market value if those artifacts are so important to their culture.</p><p><br /></p><p>However when there are hundreds or thousands or more of a coin I don’t see why they would need to demand the return of such coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean it’s one thing if it’s something like the Eglin Marbles in the British Museum that were taken from the Parthenon itself without paperwork when Greece was under Ottoman control. That’s something that’s one of a kind so I understand why they want those back.</p><p><br /></p><p>But demanding the return of things like say a denarius of Julius Caesar or a gold stater of Lysimachus when there are so many out there just seems like a cash grab. They know they are worth a lot of money so of course they want it. It’s all about money not cultural heritage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
