<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1555982, member: 39&quot;]Well, the author writes that he picked just these four. It is a selection, not a complete list - makes sense to me. Unfortunately the article also has some mistakes. He says &quot;On Oct. 3, 1990, the coinage of East Germany became a finished chapter, as the nation was reunited with its western portion as the Federal Republic of Germany.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Duh. What the author calls &quot;the western portion&quot; has been the Federal Republic of Germany since 1949. A few years later, in 1957, Saarland joined that Federal Republic, and in 1990 the five Eastern states (formerly the GDR) joined. A simple look at the country name on the coins would have revealed that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also, the coinage &quot;became a finished chapter&quot; when the GDR adopted the DM - which was not in October but on 1 July 1990 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
