hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 3:34 pm I myself would not buy them, but I also don't collect German coins. If you want them you should get them. But I always question considering the regime (same for example North Korea coins/notes) why people want them. If because they are supporting the atrocities caused by that regime, then they should question their morality. The coins aren't going to change anyone's morales. If for the history, then get them, understand what was done at that time period.

NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 4:42 pm Coins should be collected because they are part of history. Other people collect coins because they are beautifully designed or fit in a certain collecting theme. I for instance am assembling a set of coins of composers. Part of that set are several coins from the former USSR. Should I not buy those coins because Stalin was a dictator who send millions to the gulag to die? Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 12:18 pm The swastika is originally from ancient India (4000 B.C. or older) and roughly means "good luck) I own my Great Aunt's jewelry collection and there are several peices from India with the swastika. We all know that the Nazis took that symbol to an "all time" different meaning during WWII, but it existed a long, long before that. Report this Post to the Staff
