[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2381046, member: 39"]There are quite a few beautiful castles and palaces in the world, but that thing is not among them. :p Fortunately Ludwig did not have the chance to ruin Bavaria financially by completing his Cinderella castle. The location is great though. De gustibus, etc. ;) Those early 10M and 20M coins, well, the text on the common side (with the denomination) is a bad example of spacing and "distribution" of the characters. At least that was fixed just a few years later. And if we leave all those coins out that were not made for circulation but were "representation" pieces only, or (these days) just collector coins ... But of course I am aware of the fact that, just as quite a few car fans prefer vintage/classic vehicles, many coin collectors like "the past" better than what is made today. Fortunately there are still many (even affordable) coins from many centuries in the world. :) Christian[/QUOTE]
