<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1666927, member: 39&quot;]Exactly. The concentration camps - and especially the places that were built as &quot;death factories&quot; - were certainly not what the Nazi regime wanted to convey about the Third Reich. (Terezín, or the Theresienstadt camp, was a little different as it was misused as a &quot;presentable model&quot; for some time.) Coins, however, are issued by a country&#039;s government. Positively put, they are advertising; negatively put, they are propaganda. And if somebody is so fascinated by nazi propaganda, or nazi uniforms, badges, etc. ... well, I do wonder why.</p><p><br /></p><p>And sorry, Angelo, if my comment came across as a personal attack; that was not my intention. It was meant in a more general sense, and simply &quot;hit&quot; this topic. It&#039;s just that I heard so many times that &quot;coins teach about history&quot; - no, they do not. What they can do is make people interested - about geography, about people depicted, about events honored, and more. Combine that with the fact that many coins went through many hands before ending up in our collections, and you know what I find fascinating about coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
