Sweet, that explains why the bottom is a bit different. I actually got distracted from searching anymore last night. I wasn't expecting it to be worth anything. It is too clean and new and I figured it was probably just the equivalent of a a penny or a nickel. It still adds to my foreign coin collection which is mostly pedestrian.Pulsar_t wrote:Presuming the number on the coin is the year of issuance, it was between 21st March 2010 – 20th March 2011. Nothing exotic or valuable I'm afraid
That's pretty cool actually. Not in the fact that its from Nazi Germany in a sense that that was a cool country but in the same way that Confederate State money is cool because they lost their respective wars and as a result the currency is no longer made with no successors. Erm... Cool story?Hobie-wan wrote:Column of 3 singles is coin from Nazi Germany that my English Grandfather picked up in the war,

Was this really common? I mean I have heard the rumor that all former Nazis left for South America to escape prosecution, but I was wondering how true it is.brandman wrote:Shit!

At the time Argentina was ruled by Juan Perón, who was openly sympathetic to Nazism. He made it a policy for the Argentine government to shelter former Nazi officers and sympathizers.ZeroAX wrote:Was this really common?

Then I think I knew some girls (horrible people really, but of course this doesn't have anything to do with what I am about to say) who's grandfather might have been one (German who went to South America after the war).jfrost wrote: At the time Argentina was ruled by Juan Perón, who was openly sympathetic to Nazism.

Notoriously, Mengele himself went to Argentina and made the rounds in South America. He ended up in Brazil and died here.

That's pretty strange to meet people who's ancestors have done horrible things, even if they don't agree with it. I doubt they actually knew and would think about it, but hey, it's their Grandparents, not them, what does it matter to them? Sure it's horrible but there's nothing they can do about it, might as well live life the right way.ZeroAX wrote:Then I think I knew some girls (horrible people really, but of course this doesn't have anything to do with what I am about to say) who's grandfather might have been one (German who went to South America after the war).
.....I wonder if it ever crossed their minds (not the brightest people either), and how I'd feel if I knew someone I was so directly related to had committed crimes against humanity (I'm sure some of my ancestors did, but surely not up to my great grandparents).
