[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 663558, member: 6370"]I see no reason why it needs to be closed. I do not see anyone being uncivil and this is certainly a reoccurring debate on this forum ever since I have been a member. Why is it that the History channel can play non stop Nazi documentary footage but we shouldn't discuss the Nazi, their coins, and the ethics of collecting their remains in fear someone might not like it. Cant they simply not read the thread, thats what I do sometimes when I want to avoid bickering. The only problem with this thread is its title...it should read 'the problem with WWII era German coins issued by the Nazi regime' or just 'the problem with collecting Nazi Coins'...there are at least 10 other threads with similar themes which delve into whether it is wrong or right to collect Nazi coins. Always the same point are expressed: 1. History...its fine to collect these coins, collecting them doesn't equal support for the regime that issued it. (name all those other nations that had tyrannical, criminal governments) 2. I dont feel right about it, I personally wont do it. 3. They should all be destroyed. I dont think there is an absolute answer to be had, as is how it should be, collecting is personal and people should decide on their own what they want to do in such a situation.[/QUOTE]
