<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverskunk, post: 26201775, member: 172230&quot;]My interest is 1933 to 1939. Yes I know the German Laws. I think its illegal there to call each other names there too. I was stationed in Germany in the &#039;70s where the remnants of the Third Reich still existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could name a thousand tyrants and autocracies thru history whose coins we either collect or know exist. The Romans were no charmers either. The Spanish, French, English, all were vicious slaver Empires as well that also obliterated entire tribes and peoples and/or stole their wealth. History has no shortage of Monsters.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the Nazi&#039;s co-opted the economy as much as the Politics or military. Hitler only stayed in power and stayed popular because he turned things around in the economy. Not that he was any great monetary or economic genius but the Nazi economists understood money very well. Much of early Nazi coinage used silver and had mint stamps like ours.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually found a few places here in the states. A lot came back with our troops as mementos during the war and especially after when a vast American army presence was there as an occupation force. I&#039;ll be ordering some soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the responses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
