Now this is what got me thinking, why would they be so sensitive when it comes to galleons?  why do they only work in the bank?


A long long time ago in a place across the sea
there were a people banned from owning land and certain buissnessry.

These were the Jews.  Thus they were forced into such 'dirty' proffessions as money lenders and lawyers and /bankers/.  All looked heavily down upon.  Shakesphear even did a play on it, which pointed out even then the jews were sometimes killed if money was owed.

There's my first point to the Goblins to draw parallels.

Second point, prior to World War two Jews were in control of the German goverment, one thing that let Hitler stir up anti seminisim.  Because of World War one Germany had to pay huuuuuge depts to france and several other countries.  /Money they didn't have./  So when Hitler got into power he started printing huge sums of money, it drove the vaule down, but the fines were phrased as "______ marks." not "Equivlent to _____ franks" or "Equivlent to ______ pounds of gold."

And a Mark is a Mark, even if it's worth less than a single lire.

Needless to say this made Hitler very popular.

However, Wizarding money is made out of real precious metals, which wouldn't change much in value, and you can't print them unless you find more.

So allow me to allign the Goblin rebellions with WWI and do you all see how my brain is working?

The Goblins were forced to work into the bank because it's a dirty proffession and they might just owe the MoM a lot of money because of their rebellions, hence why they are so sensitive about galleons, and upset that the MoM might have snatched it away.



Nemi, go ahead, shoot me down
