<p>[QUOTE="JTL, post: 24558159, member: 83510"]My own impression is that people are drawn to nazi era coins for the same reasons so many people are fascinated by true crime documentary TV shows or like to watch horror movies. It’s not that they sympathize with serial killers, or that they wish supernatural hockey mask wearing murderers were real, it’s just a matter of human nature that some people are fascinated by things that are dark and scary. Same goes for when people go to the zoo and want to see sharks, crocodiles, cobras, and other dangerous, deadly creatures. I personally own some Soviet era coins, mostly because I grew up during the Cold War and remember the hammer and sickle symbol as something very sinister and frightening as a child in that era. I can’t really explain the fascination, but it is certainly not borne out of admiration or sympathizing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
