coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 11:01 am I was looking through a book of foreign money and was wondering did Hitler ever have a note with him on it. Moved to World Banknote section and title edited for clarity - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Uhhhh Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/15/2010 3:59 pm No, I don't believe Hitler was ever on any official money. I did; however, see a token with his portrait on it on here a couple of weeks ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16846 Posts	Posted 04/10/2010 12:17 am There were no "lifetime" coins, either - Hitler apparently thought it was too "monarchial" and though he probably had royal ambitions, he didn't want to declare himself Emperor until he'd done a better job than the last German Emperor had done, and actually won a war. He was reportedly quite upset that his French puppets, the Vichy State, had struck coins with their own leader Field Marshal Petain's portrait on it; those coins were withdrawn shortly afterwards. And obviously, once Hitler was defeated and committed suicide, neither Germany nor anyone else has issued any "real coins" with his portrait. The only "coins" to show his portrait are post-war fantasies struck by neo-Nazi groups. See this thread for some examples. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
