<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 47685, member: 39&quot;]No doubt about the latter. I fully agree, and no serious historian would doubt that. But this &quot;relativist&quot; position that you mention is mostly heard, from my experience, as a reaction to a certain kind of American patriotism which often turns into, or maybe only sounds like, offensive self-righteousness.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;swastika coins&quot; being illegal in Germany, that is a mere myth as others have pointed out. If a non-European seller does not want to sell them to customers here, that is his/her business decision and does not have anything to do with legal restrictions. What I could imagine, however, is that some are just overcautious - after all, selling &quot;non-historic&quot; nazi items such as <b>newly made</b> Hitler medals could be considered nazi propaganda (supporting an anticonstitutional organization) which is against the law here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nazi coins are fortunately fairly common if one collects by type only, like I do. Frankly, I would feel uncomfortable if I had to pay a premium price for some unattractive swastika piece only to fill a &quot;hole&quot; in my collection. There are so many nice coins out there ;-)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
