<p>[QUOTE="Rhino89, post: 745133, member: 21773"]I just joined this forum and came across this post. I actually collect Russian, Nazi German, and general WWII currency. I have actually lost family members in WWII and the holocaust, but I still keep Nazi banknotes and coins in my collection because it's one of the most raw pieces of history. It's a reminder that what happened is not just a textbook article, a Wikipedia entry, or an old black and white photograph. These notes and coins, which carry one of the most discomforting symbols in the world, is something that reminds people of history's reality. And I intend on passing this collection on to my children so that they, too, can have this piece of history. Painful, yes, but absolutely necessary. I bet there's people out there who collect these for fanatical reasons, but I believe most see things the way I do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
