<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4110419, member: 72790"]I agree in the USA British history is usually studied to some extent and far more likely than Polish history. At least most Americans would recognize names like Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, Richard the Lion Heart and his consort Elenore of Aquitaine, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and all the way to Churchill. John Sobieski, Casimir Pulaski, Thaddeus Kosciusko, Marshal Pilsudski just don't ring a bell to most Americans. Still I think there might be something else. I see these Polish and Lithuanian coins all the time, not just at coin shows, but curiosity shops and flea markets. I think there may be something, more than just name recognition or familiarity that accounts for their abundance and ubiquity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
