<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fid, post: 409611, member: 7724&quot;]sorry, but I take that as wishful thinking and one of these fairytales that arise on the net. the &quot;joke&quot; of Hanauer Silber was the acceptance by the different German state authorities - Germany didn&#039;t exist as a unit when this started but consisted of over 30 &quot;states&quot; - because those marks were used as export marks to Catholic countries that tried to stop import of Hugenot-made products.</p><p>many people here and elsewhere have no knowledge of the history of continental Europe with its very complicated politico-ecomomical problems and solely depend on sites like those you linked. although these sites are immensely helpful for speedy everyday work and 99 % cases of research, they are not when it comes to special cases like Hanau. you don&#039;t have to believe it - which you wont anyways - but I NEVER read in one single trustworthy German source of quality of what you link here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
