Guest Rick Research Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Why are the Manx issuing coins with an American decoration illustrated by a WW2 Pacific battle scene of U.S. Marines throwing lit sticks of dynamite rather than hand grenades?Ooooog! Are there MORE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Why are the Manx issuing coins with an American decoration illustrated by a WW2 Pacific battle scene of U.S. Marines throwing lit sticks of dynamite rather than hand grenades?Ooooog! Are there MORE? I think they do it because they can sell coins like this and make money. What is, after all, the major Manx source of foreign exchange? Isn't it philately and numismatics?

ehrentitle Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Perhaps they are Engineers? Those are the only folks that would have had a ready supply of sticks of dynamite. But even that would have been a bit of a stretch. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What I'm wondering is... did they ALSO issue a coin with an Iron Cross on it last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
