    Greek coins used the swastika as early as the 7th century B.C.

    swastika building

    The navy is remodling a barracks at Coronado Naval Amphibious Base that was built in the 60's in the swastika shape. Now that people can Google it, they are going to change it.

    But on the original subject about the swastika symbol. I'm pretty certain I'm see it on some old Indian Coins. And I've see lots of Hindu items with the symbol on them. JonySky

    It is quite a universaly used religouse symbol and there are quite a few variations of it, it was used for thousands of years before the Nazi's decided to use it as there symbol. It appears on numerouse coins over the ages as well as on banknotes.
