<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 326443, member: 39&quot;]Pretty much right. In case you want to delve deeper into German - &quot;es grüne&quot;, &quot;es wachse&quot; etc. express wishes. Similarly to &quot;God save the Queen&quot; in English which does not mean that God save<u>s</u> the Queen but that God will hopefully etc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So I&#039;d say something like &quot;May the fir green, may the ore grow, may God give us ...&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, of course, like nobody else ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What makes, in my opinion, a huge difference is that almost every notgeld coin/note is a local issue, made to be used for a limited period of time. Thus the designers and issuing bodies did not have to take too many &quot;political&quot; considerations (does this design represent our city best, could it be offensive? etc.) into account. Also, many of the notes were not issued to be used in circulation anyway; they were sold almost like souvenirs to locals and others. And who would want to buy a dull souvenir?</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
