<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 209567, member: 4626"]Your perogative of course, but I don't get the analogy. Nobody died for the sake of a Nazi coin being minted, whatever else the Nazi government was responsible for. The coins are still a part of history, even if it's not a positive moment in history. I certaintly wouldn't want them all destroyed just because they represent an objectionable period of history. If we just pretend the worst parts of history never happened, what's to prevent the same things from happening again?</p><p><br /></p><p>On a less symbolic note, I don't believe that my ownership of coins or currency produced under dictatorial regimes in any way shows support for them. They're just metal and paper, and the regimes have long since fallen.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you're not buying them because it just bothers you to have them around, I can respect that.
