[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2251853, member: 60292"]You're correct in that one should be respectful and considerate of others on whether a symbol may be offensive due to its association with something. I believe the context and the location of the symbol's presentation is what should determine whether it is offensive or not. This thread was not created for the purpose of celebrating the Nazi regime or atrocities they commited. It was created to share coins that have ties to a period of historical significance. Since history normally plays a big part of the interest in collecting coins, I find that these coins made during a historically significant period as interesting. I believe that the members of this forum are educated and civilized enough to understand the distinction. I also believe that this being a coin forum (first and foremost) with members of all ethnicities, it is not an inappropriate location to share or discuss. I know you weren't being accusative Kurt. Just elaborating on my thought process for anyone who might be unclear of my intentions.[/QUOTE]
