<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1972003, member: 12789"]I think I have one or two pieces from DPRK, didn't buy them for themselves but as parts of job lots I purchased. DPRK doesn't really affect me one way or another, but Nazi coins still give me the chills - I found a pfennig from the WWII era in a roll search a few years ago. I just don't care for the swastika. I threw the pfennig in a bin with other German coins where it still is. I won't buy Nazi era coins, but definitely collect the pre-war commemoratives like the Zeppelin issues etc. The Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg are often associated with the Nazis because they insisted on having the swastika emblazoned on the tails - but the Director of Zeppelin Reederei, Dr. Hugo Eckener was opposed to the Nazis and resented his airships being used as political propaganda by them. Some of my favourite German medals, coins etc are associated with the Zeppelin programme.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
