Re: Bruce's comparison. Interesting, but the German currency had some exciting adventures between 1877 and 1938.

Maybe you could sell it and buy an iron cross, second class.

Well, running my mind over German economic history 1877 to 1938 caused me to think of World War One, hyperinflation, social turmoil, and a nasty little chap named [deleted - Goodwin's law]. Combining those ideas threw up the trivia that in the aforementioned war, the afore[un]mentioned chap earned the aforementioned medal.

Do I drift to fast for you? :p
