Germany's most well known touristic route is the 355km long Romantic Road which connects walled towns and picturesque villages. Outside Germany this road is best known in Japan (93% of Japanese capable of traveling have heard of it), Italy and the US.
The road follows the course of the Roman highway Via Augustus and was also a medieval trade route that connected some of the towns along the Romantic Road. It leads from Wuerzburg in North Bavaria along a number of medieval villages right down to Schwangau with one of Germany's leading attractions: the magnificent fairytale castle Neuschwanstein in the Bavarian Alps, King Ludwig's masterpiece and Walt Disney's inspiration.
Highlights along the way are the best preserved medieval town Rothenburg ob der Tauber with its timber-framed houses and the entertaining night watchman tour (English tour at 8pm every night), the wine, cathedral and Baroque city of Wuerzburg with its Residenz palace. This palace served as the home for Wuerzburg's powerful prince-bishops during the Enlightenment and is known for its extravagant artistic design and Baroque architecture. Then you will discover one of Germany's oldest cities Augsburg where you'll encounter the legacy of the Romans and the wealthy traders like the Fugger family. Its historic city centre with its baroque town houses, splendid boulevards, and traditional restaurants, invites you to enjoy a genuine medieval candlelight dinner in old vaulted rooms. At the very end of the romantic route lies medieval Fuessen with its charming historic town centre and narrow streets.
In addition to numerous castles, the Fuessen - Schwangau region offers spectacular mountain views and a host of outdoor activities like skiing, mountain hiking and sailing as well as great accommodation. After traveling from village to village the Schwangau region invites you to spend at least 1 week to truly enjoy the variety of leisure opportunities from indulging wellness islands to culinary highlights, hiking to points of exceptional natural beauty, cycling around the clear lakes with panoramic views of the Alps as your backdrop or simply enjoying the view from one of the many mountain hut sun terraces. Even opportunities for adrenalin seekers abound (e.g. rock climbing, high rope course climbing, paragliding tandem jumps or 3-day quick trainings to jump yourself).
The very name of the Romantic Road expresses the feeling that many visitors have when they first set their eyes on this special mix of history, cultural riches and natural beauty along the way. Sometimes one feels like being taken back in time - a wonderfully peaceful feeling. Perfect for your holiday!
Silke Rehman loves the South Bavarian region and after 12 years of moving from London, to Geneva back to London and Dubai, she has settled in Schwangau by Neuschwanstein Castle, the gorgeous place where she used to come for holidays. She is a co-active life coach specializing in helping powerful women, who dream of making a real difference in this world. She coaches because she loves seeing her clients grow and achieve things they did not think were possible. Silke shares her thoughts and expertise with the world at www.developandgrow.com
Why Did The Germans Declare Florance, Athens, and Chieti Open Cities in WWII?
The Nazis don't the type that would care about civilians in Italy and Greece from getting killed or to protect historic buildings. But is that why they did it?
The answer is a bit different not the Nazis but the people from these cities declared it :
"Open City" .
In war, in the event of the imminent capture of a city, the government/military structure of the nation that controls the city will sometimes declare it an open city, thus announcing that they have abandoned all defensive efforts. The attacking armies of the opposing military will then be expected not to bomb or otherwise attack the city, but simply to march in. The concept aims at protecting the historic landmarks and civilians who dwell in the city from an unnecessary battle.
Some examples of declarations of an open city include:
Brussels in 1940, World War II
Paris in 1940, from which the French Government fled after it became apparent that they could not defend it
Manila in 1942, which the American military abandoned because the city had lost strategic value in light of events
Athens on 1944-10-11 was declared an open city by the Germans[1]
Rome on 1943-08-14, which the defending forces declared unilaterally an "open city"; the Allied forces entered Rome in June 1944; the German forces also declared Florence and Chieti "open cities"
Attacking forces do not always respect the declaration of an "open city." This happened, for example, with the German bombardment of Belgrade in April 1941, and the American bombardment of Rome in 1944.

Coins: Antique Coins as Cool Collections
Coin collecting is a fun activity and it has been very popular because it does not only serve as a hobby but as an option to generate income.
Probably the most popular types of coins that are sought by collectors are the antique coins. Antique coins may be bought from auction sales, coin shows, malls and even in tourist areas that have historical themes. Antique coins are found to vary greatly in price depending on the age of the coin, its history and country or origin.
Here are some tips that may be considered when buying antique coins:
1. The buyer should make sure that the antique coin they are buying is a genuine one. There are many counterfeit coins sold in the market today and a buyer should thoroughly inspect any coin before buying it.
2. Coin collectors should collect the less expensive antique coins when beginning. The more expensive ones can be purchased once their collection becomes larger.
3. Collectors need to consider a purchase carefully before buying antique coins. Always be aware of the scams and fraud that may occur when buying coins. Take extra care in choosing – always determine the authenticity of the coin they are considering
4. A professional coin appraiser should assess the value of the coin before you buy so that the real value of the coin will be correctly assessed. This will prevent buying a coin at an inflated price.
5. When choosing antique coins narrow down the collection of antique coins to those from a specific country or a specific era. This will make the search for collectable coins an easier task.
6. Care is always needed to preserve the value of coins. Antique coins should be given extra care in order to preserve their appearance as well as their value. A collector should be aware that antique coins do not require much cleaning as excessive cleaning will only depreciate their value. The older the antique coin looks the more expensive it becomes.
Antique coins can provide so much entertainment for collectors that anyone might consider making it a hobby. Remember to be patient in searching for these coins since they may be available in limited numbers. You must have the passion for collecting to make antique coin collection a satisfying experience.

In canada isnt it difficult to chashier because of the two extra coin values?!?!?
Im a chashier in washington and I was thinking about since canadians use loonies and toonies for one dollar and two dollar values... isnt that annoying to manage at the register?
100 "one dollar" coins VS 100 "one dollar" bills?
Doest anyone else see what i mean?
rofl. I might get a job in canada because im goin there for college and im wondering how different its goin to be working with canadian money. When im used to the coins being only cent value.
umm ok...
i never said id have difficulty knowing what value they are ..
and they dont really make our dollar coins anymore ... dont you know? i work at a DOLLAR STORE and ive seen 2 of those coins in the passed two months. i just set them aside with the coin rolls because we dont have an extra slot in the register for dollar coins.rofl.
PS: Its called an off campus study permit
DOH!
Some people *rolls eyes*
Thanks anyways...for trying..
First of all, the United States has a dollar coin too! What do you do if you get one of those while you're working the register in the U.S.?
Second of all, do you *honestly* think you would have a hard time remembering that a dollar coin is worth a dollar, when you currently seem to have no trouble at all remembering that a 25 cent coin is worth 25 cents or a five cent coin is worth five cents? Really -- it can't be that difficult to figure out.
You also may not be able to get a job in Canada, being an American citizen who's only in the country temporarily. If you're counting on your wages to pay some of your tuition, you'd better look into this *very* carefully.

Potosi Mint
Potosi Mint
atocha coin value?
I have a coin from Nuestra Senora de Atocha shipwreck. Demomination:2 reale; grade:one; mint:potosi; assayer:R; weight:6.3; reign: Philip iii. Does anyone have an idea of the worth or where I can find someone who might want to purchase it?
1 - Take your coin to a local coin dealer (trustworthy ones can be found - shop around). It never hurts to get a second opinion. They will be able to tell you so much more by evaluation the condition of the coins. They will also know the amount minted and what it is going for in today's market.
2 - Try posting pictures on this website (there are many experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):
http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/default.asp
3 - Repost this question and include pictures. You can use websites like http://www.photobucket.com and include the link in your question.
Good luck!
P.S. You should not clean your coins. Most coin collectors see cleaning a coin as the equivalent of stripping down antique furniture and refinishing it.
When cleaning, the surface metal of the coin is often stripped. Anything used to scrub the coin will leave scratches (even 100% pure silk will leave hairline scratches). Most cleaning products will have some type of reaction with the coin's metal and the surface metal can also be removed in this manner.
Your best bet is to leave the coins alone. Cleaning the coin will leave traces - which can be found by the knowledgeable collector - who in turn will not buy the cleaned coin. Also if you ever wanted to send your coin into a grading company, they can recognize signs of cleaning and will send your coin back in a "cleaned" slab (also called a "body bag" in the coin world) - which is usually a greatly decreased value.
If you absolutely must must must clean your coins do not use the method described above as it will react with the metal in your coin. Use 100% acetone (do not use fingernail polish remover!). It must be 100% pure because other additives will react with the coin metal. Place your coin(s) in the solution for several minutes (do not leave in for long periods of time). Rinse your coin(s) in distilled water. Next remove your coins and either pat dry with a soft cloth or allow the coin to air dry (air drying is better as you don't risk scratching the coin with the cloth). NEVER scrub your coins!
I would still advise you to leave your coins as they are. They may not be bright and shiny but that is what most collectors prefer.

Chinese Silver Panda Coins - A True Symbol Of Chinese Culture
The Chinese Silver Panda Coins are one of the most well liked silver coins to ever circulate the country as well as the foreign exchange markets around the planet. These kinds of coins are some of the most rare, which of course means that the value placed on these are of a vast amount that only the major and the determined collectors are prepared to invest on. If you have an interest in picking up these sorts of coins, particularly those from China, then this article's going to offer you some of the basic information that you will need to spot a specific Chinese silver panda coin.
The first class of Chinese Silver Panda Coins were circulated between 1983 and 1985, which had miniscule mintages of only ten thousand and were thought to be one of the few Chinese coins that were extraordinarily rare and hard to locate. The valuable metal content is 27 grams of 9 hundred fine silver with a diameter of 38.6 mm. These were already really inspiring and valuable, but that did not limit collectors from taking a look at the later versions of these coins.
For example, the 1987 sterling panda is the sole Chinese silver panda coin ever to have been minted from sterling silver. It had an honest to goodness valuable metal content of 1 oz. Of 925 fine silver and was is the 1st silver panda coin that had a diameter of 40 mm.
Another reason why these coins were so valuable and in demand among coin collectors was the design on the coin itself, especially that of the panda. What's more, the costs for these particular coins were very affordable, beginning from the 1989 one oz. Pure .999 silver panda coin till the present 2007 Chinese Silver Panda Coin.
And because of this, you may find a lot of collectors with complete sets of Chinese Silver Panda Coins either online or in tangible shops who are willing to sell them at reasonable prices.
