Hello everyone, I was in Detroit in July which I go every year and I love to shop at antique stores. I happen to find this really fun antique shop, they had lots of coins, paper money, I found this 1945 Budapest paper money but not sure if it's a dollar? I bought it because I thought it was cool looking this antique store had so many coins from different countries. I did manage to find U.S. coins as well again just wanted to share Thanks
LOL nice pun! I like the 100 Pengos (P-111) & picked one up a few years ago. It reminds me of the Danube River & viewing the parliament buildings from the Pest side.
This note appears to have been issued in April of 1945, at the end of WWII, at the beginning of a period of hyperinflation. Before the war, it took about 5 pengos to equal a dollar. By August 31, 1945, it took 1320. By the time the last pengos were issued in July of 1946, it took 460,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pengos to equal one US dollar. So your note would not have been worth much when issued. Source: Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_pengő.
Yes, me too! This is why I bought it, I'm not really someone who knows a lot about coins or paper money, I just look at stuff and if it looks interesting to me I buy.
"Yes, me too! This is why I bought it, I'm not really someone who knows a lot about coins or paper money, I just look at stuff and if it looks interesting to me I buy." That's why many of us buy what we buy. (and we're called hoarders)
