<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1247005, member: 12789&quot;]When the USSR &quot;invited&quot; themselves into Latvia in 1939-40 they called in all the Latvian currency.&nbsp; But instead of destroying it like you would think they would - they put it all in vaults and kept it for years.&nbsp; Later on in the mid-1980s they started opening up those long closed vaults and started selling the coins off in a boutique in Moscow, and through a mail order business called Mezhnumizmatika.&nbsp; As with all stuff that they sold then, the prices for the time were exorbitantly high.&nbsp; Somewhere in all my stuff I have a pricelist from that business that I remember when it came the postage stamps from the USSR were ripped off by a postal clerk or someone.&nbsp; I would like to dig out the list and image it - it has also the early USSR coins in silver and the gold medals that were sold to tourists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
