<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 306493, member: 39"]Agreed, but collecting Nazi Germany's coins does, by itself, not mean that you support the ideology or share nazi views. Again, it depends on the context: If you collect Third Reich coinage and no others, along with a bunch of other nazi memorabilia, that is - in my opinion - quite different from collecting them as part of a collection of, say, world coins in general, or early/mid 20c pieces, or maybe coins from dictatorships.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, and I may repeat myself here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> , for me it makes a difference whether my purchase of, for example, a silver or gold coins supports an existing dictatorial regime or not.
