<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 788035, member: 22271&quot;]When the Nazis occupied Czechoslovakia, they partitioned the country creating a Slovak Republic (and the Czech lands as the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia). The Slovak Republic issued its own coinage from 1939-1045 consisting of 5, 10, 20 $ 50 Halierov and 1, 5, 10, 20 &amp; 50 Korun coins (totaling 30 different mintages &amp; alloys).</p><p>Supposedly, when the Communists took over the reunited Czechoslovakia after WWII, they tried to remove as much of the Slovak coinage as possible (luckily without much success).</p><p><br /></p><p>While my wife considers my coin collecting to be boring (mocks actually), since she is of Slovak heritage, she doesn&#039;t mind my occasional departure (from US) into foreign coins as long as they are Slovak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
