<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 696060, member: 6370&quot;]Excuse me but what the hell? I am one of the people who said that if you are collecting Third Reich coins then you collect the coins that were conceived by and for the Third Reich. This has NOTHING to do with how I collect and WHY I collect. I collect for exactly the reasons you mention...all of the above...visit my website if you like and see if I care about the history of the coin. I personally have a few coins of the Third Reich but don&#039;t collect them I have other focuses and wouldn&#039;t focus on those coins for many reasons. But this was a question asking for opinions so I gave it. I was unaware that my answer would be used to judge whether I was a serious collector and appreciated history or just a guy who liked &#039;cool stuff&#039;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Still I would say Third Reich coins are coins conceived and minted for the Third Reich...like said above...even though the Weimar Republic is referred to as a republic, it was still officially the Deutsches Reich and called Weimar Republic only by historians referring to the place where the constitutional assembly took place<i>. </i>Certainly the Third Reich became rather quickly a one party state with the red and white flag with a black swastika on it. It was preceded by what we call the Weimar Republic and like said above...certainly it took time to switch over. If you choose to collect GERMAN REICH coins, all coins that happen to be minted during the Deutsches Reich, then include Weimar coins and many well before. IMO (and it is just an opinion mind you) if you choose to collect Third Reich coins, I would not include the Weimar coins. That&#039;s just me but I DO like to collect &#039;cool things&#039;...I thought we all did? Why collect something you dont think is &#039;cool&#039;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not judge others for what they collect and I do not think any coin is &#039;taboo&#039;...or people who are into Nazi Stuff. I own a few Third Reich coins but I find other times in history more interesting...like the earlier Earlier German Imperial, Pre-Imperial and princely states...and for some reason I am intrigued by Notgeld. I dont find Nazi Germany that interesting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
