<p>[QUOTE=&quot;torontokuba, post: 1779709, member: 56793&quot;]Nice topic. Prior to glancing through it, I was aware of the existence of most of the zinc coins pictured here. As a matter of fact, I believe that I have many examples of the coins pictured here. I do not clean my coins, not even the zincs, and as a result, I was a bit surprised to find a link that gives advice on cleaning these unique coins. I&#039;ll have to disagree with that portion of the thread. The rest is great. I did not see an Austrian zinc coin, so, here is my little contribution...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Austria 5 Groschen 1955 - </b>Love the shackles!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #808080"><i>&quot;The broken shackles are said to have been added to the eagle&#039;s legs after the Second World War to refer to the liberation from the Nazis.&quot;</i></span></p><p><a href="http://users.skynet.be/lotus/flag/aut0-en.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://users.skynet.be/lotus/flag/aut0-en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://users.skynet.be/lotus/flag/aut0-en.htm</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]284687[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]284688[/ATTACH]</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
