[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 26202199, member: 74343"]Then get rid of it. Destroy it or throw it away. It's a common coin and it's not worth making you feel disgusted. Want to feel disgusted?

The symbol didn't do the crimes. The coins had to be used regardless to buy basic needs. And not all who fought for Germany in WWII were Nazis. Oh and history fact of the day is this insignia patch: [ATTACH=full]1673098[/ATTACH] Nope, it can't be offensive because it isn't from the NSDAP. This is the insignia of the US 45th army infantry. Yup US soldiers once wore this insignia, and of course they had to change it to a thunderbird after 1939.[/QUOTE]
