<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 659872, member: 6370&quot;]I like German coins mainly because of the Artistry and history. It seems to me Germans loved coins and medals and would mint up a coin or a medal for almost any reason. Look at the notgeld era...where every German and their dog was minting coins or printing notes...My conclusion is that Germans loved coins and they minted them in large quantities and many are pure works of numismatic artistry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the Nazis...I get enough history on Nazi TV (History Channel) where everyday you can find some show delving into some aspect of the Nazis...Did Hitler have a corn on his toe? Did that drive him mad? Did he practice voodoo? blah blah blah...If you don&#039;t know all about Germany and the era of the Nazis...all you need do is watch the History channel for a week and you will know all you want to ever learn about it. Interesting that they don&#039;t have near as many shows about the allies...bad guys make better TV and if there was one thing you can say about Nazis, its that they were sharp dressers. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Makes me think of Little Britain...2 SS men in a trench, one turns to the other and asks &#039;are we the bad guys? I mean...we have a skull and cross bones on our hats? How many good guys wear skull and crossbones?&#039;. The best bit was the skit about Karl Dönitz, Hitler&#039;s successor....if you haven&#039;t seen it...I am sure its out there on the web....the man who always wanted to be something more finally become Fuhrer just in time to give up. &#039;Sir, all we need you to do is surrender&#039; Dönitz: &#039;can you just say Heil Dönitz? Just once? please?&#039; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As stated before. Coins are not evil...if I did not collect a coin because the government was rotten....my collection would be non-existent....It would eliminate most middle eastern nations, soviet as well as white Russian, colonial era, US era when we were killing off the Indians, African coins, Chinese coins, Roman coins, Persian, etc...etc...They are just little metal chunks of history and I cant think of a single coin type I wouldn&#039;t put in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
