<p>[QUOTE=&quot;willieboyd2, post: 968547, member: 4910&quot;]Edward VIII became King of England in early 1936 and abdicated late that year, because:</p><p>1. He gave up the throne for the woman he loved.</p><p>or</p><p>2. He was a Nazi agent or pro-Fascist or pro-American or something like that.</p><p>3. He wanted Winston Churchill to stop throwing his false teeth at him.</p><p>4. He knew too much about UFO&#039;s.</p><p>5. He didn&#039;t like his profile on coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some British territories did issue coins with his name on them but no portraits.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britisheastafrica_c05_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British East Africa 5 Cents 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britisheastafrica_c10_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British East Africa 10 Cents 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britishwestafrica_pt1_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British West Africa 1/10 Penny 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britishwestafrica_ph1_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British West Africa 1/2 Penny 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britishwestafrica_pe1_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British West Africa Penny 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britishfiji_pe1_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British Fiji Penny 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_britishnewguinea_pe1_1936_edward8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>British New Guinea Penny 1936 - Edward VIII</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the coins have holes in them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure that means something.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
