<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 140078, member: 39&quot;]As kuhli wrote, Yugoslavia was a little different from the other &quot;Eastern&quot; countries then. At least in the late 1960s and in the 1970s, YU was a fairly popular vacation destination for Germans, for example, and also quite a few people from Yugoslavia were what was then called &quot;guest workers&quot; in DE. So maybe, if your relatives in Europe were Europeans, they may have picked the coins up that way or, if they were Americans, they may have got them from somebody else ...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sort of. The country formerly known as Czechoslovakia was first called <i>Republika Ceskoslovenska</i> (Czechoslovak Republic) on pre-1960 coins, then <i>Ceskoslovenska Socialisticka Republika</i> (Cz. Socialist Rep.) until 1989, then <i>Ceska a Slovenska Federativni Republika</i> (Czech and Slovak Federal Republic) until the peaceful separation of the country in 1992.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
