<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3298578, member: 39&quot;]Could be, as in: I have no idea. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The case that [USER=59737]@Seattlite86[/USER] referred to (BBC article) might be a little different as the auction house canceled an auction due to protests, not necessarily because it was against the law.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I did find is <a href="https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCodeArticle.do?idArticle=LEGIARTI000022375941&amp;cidTexte=LEGITEXT000006070719&amp;dateTexte=20190109" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCodeArticle.do?idArticle=LEGIARTI000022375941&amp;cidTexte=LEGITEXT000006070719&amp;dateTexte=20190109" rel="nofollow">this article</a> from the Code Pénal. But I don&#039;t see how that would affect coins: &quot;The fine (...) shall be imposed, except for the purpose of a film, show or exhibition with a historical reference, to wear or display in public a uniform, badge or emblem reminiscent of uniforms, insignia or emblems which have been worn or displayed either by members of an organization declared criminal pursuant to Article 9 of the Statute of the International Military Tribunal annexed to the London Agreement of 8 August 1945, or by a person convicted by a French or international court of one or more crimes against humanity provided for in Articles 211-1 to 212-3 or mentioned by Law No 64-1326 of 26 December 1964.&quot; (machine translation)</p><p><br /></p><p>In 2008 there was also a <a href="http://www.senat.fr/leg/ppl07-362.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.senat.fr/leg/ppl07-362.html" rel="nofollow">bill or proposal</a> in the Sénat, about selling/auctioning such items. But apparently that did not become law. Well, I did not read the entire Penal Code but did not find that text in the portion of the law that the bill refers to.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for selling or using nazi uniforms, badges, etc., we have similar regulations in Germany; they usually affect post-1945 replicas though, not historical artifacts. And yes, I understand that Americans deal differently with such issues regardless of whether they are nazi memorabilia collectors or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
