<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 695992, member: 39&quot;]One possible explanation is quite simple - replacing each and every coin in circulation with a new type is a time consuming (and costly) procedure. So taking your time makes some sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another reason could be called continuity. Keep in mind that Hitler did not come into power through some military coup - he was appointed chancellor of a coalition government by the president. Yes, the nazis despised the Weimar Republic, but those coins simply say &quot;Deutsches Reich&quot;, just as the later nazi coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jaeger actually wrote that the brass 5 and 10 Rpf coins designed by Raemisch were criticized a lot in the first phase of the nazi regime. People complained about the &quot;Jewish&quot; symbols and references to freemasonry on the pieces. The Finance Ministry (of the nazi gov&#039;t) then said that Raemisch had had about a day for the designs in 1923, and that it was impossible to &quot;hide&quot; so many allusions in such a short time ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
