<p>[QUOTE="icerain, post: 1343500, member: 34514"]I really don't understand the laws when it comes to heritage items such as coins and artifacts. But what gives another country the right to seize private items from someone's collection. Are you telling me that if someone moved from one country to another they are not allowed to bring their own possessions with them? This makes no sense to me.</p><p>Also what makes this situation worse is that the U.S. is not backing up its own civilians. If another country makes a stink about something this country will bend over backwards to satisfy them. If this coin was bought by the collector in America with American money then it belongs in the U.S. If the other country wants it let them buy it from the collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
