<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverfinger©, post: 4440546, member: 112311&quot;]Something that gets me though is why the nazis didnt confiscate all this coinage and melt it down for their war machine, some of the last weapons bought by them from Spain, the Spanish would only take gold or silver as payment for them, they didnt want Reichsmarks because they knew the war wasnt going that well.</p><p>And it surprises me the high % of silver in the nazi era 5 Reichsmarks coins, 90%, pretty high really I reckon for a country gearing up for war, most countries WW2 and back if planning for a war would stockpile precious metals long beforehand to finance it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
