In my opinion, Reichsmark coins minted in 1944 would not have reached Argentina by the fall of the Reich. There is a lot of info about this hideout, it was very recently found. This link leads to a page with all 136 news stories about it: https://news.google.com/news/story?ncl=d0AUICbeoB6pojMzVXIQvzk7R8UbM&q=nazi+hideout+argentina&lr=English&hl=en&sa=X&ei=0aQQVa-pJ4eTuATwm4K4Bw&ved=0CCYQqgIwAA
Eh...I can believe it. Though it is strange that they would have needed such a place or felt the need to build one. Still, regardless of whether the Argentinian government welcomed Nazi officials, still some may have felt the need to conceal themselves. Remember, Hitler lived there for years

I met 2 Germans in South America in 88-89...one in Chile[ IIRC ], looked old enough to be a vet...the other was in Rio---I was explaining numbers in German to my buddy in an elevator, and behind me I heard a ''sehr gut''..and then we just yakked for a little..I said I spoke ''ein wenig'' Deutsch.....both meetings made me do a lot of imagining! the one in Chile owned a bar with many steins...I asked to buy one, he said they were not for sale....his voice was very guttural I don't remember too many stand out places in Argentina..we did spend a few days on a base there, and we were not to mention the Falklands...they had a museum that even had a USMC uniform...I don't know if it was normal, but all they served us for breakfast was toast and coffee... ok, I thought I add a little flavor to the thread about the area, and etc
There were also French coins and the fact that a made in Germany plate was there is Not evidence either. If I were to flee abroad I would not take porcelaine to a shelter. This plate was probably imported and thaken from a city to this shelter by someone. It sound like a prank to me. Drop a few coins and get in the news....... I don't buy it.
AFAIK the coins were actually minted some time between 1938 and 1944, they're not actually dated. Nor is it strange that there should be German coins and porcelain in a South American nation with a VERY large German expatriate community even before WWII... But hey - if there's one thing this story means, it's that a great many more coins will be found in the vicinity soon...in the cash registers of local shopkeepers and hoteliers, and spent by a new influx of tinfoil-behatted tourists...
