    Is this your coin? It's perfect for the book.

    This is the 10,000-mark coin I have in my collection that I currently have in my book. Is there anyone willing to lend me a higher denomination mark coin for photography?

    Here is a 1922 Azerbaijan 100,000 rubles note, just after the Bolshevik Revolution. Probably buy you a sack of potatoes back then...

    Two million marks in crisp 100,000 mark notes. The was printed in February of 1923, when 2 million marks it still held some value. This bundle came into the studio last year. I shot it for sale on the Coin Show.

    The fellow featured on the note is Georg Giese, a prominent Hanseatic merchant who managed his family's office at London's Steelyard.
