<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ffrickey, post: 837639, member: 20613&quot;]<b>The king called and everybody came</b></p><p><br /></p><p>One of the principal interests of collecting world coins is that the vast majority of them&nbsp; were issued by now defunct governments or countries.&nbsp; I particularly like special items from short-lived governments.&nbsp; I have a few of the Nazi coins--as somebody said here--just because a world coin collection doesn&#039;t seem complete without them.&nbsp; And here&#039;s another (pre-Nazi) German coin I like for its historical value.&nbsp; It commemorates the 100th anniversary of Friedrich Wilhelm III&#039;s appeal &quot;An Mein Volk&quot; to his subjects for troops to fight Napoleon.&nbsp; Because of the date of issue, I call this coin &quot;Welcome to WWI&quot;.&nbsp; Coins teach history, and we need to know especially about disastrous histories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
