The nazi authorities decided though to hold back on those plans untill after the war.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I do not think nazi coins are much pretty, but they belong into a collection of german coins as a document for the time they where made. Numismatically it is not uninteresting to lokk at the links between 3. reich - coins and the german postwar coinage.</p><p>- the design of thestandard coinage of west Germany ( 1,2,5, and 10 pfennig ) looked quit simular to the swastika - coins. The 5 - mark had the same diameter.</p><p>- the east german 50 pfennig had the same diameter as the aluminium 50 - pfennig.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
