Notgeld was only used mainly early on during the war and it was mostly paper and not very interesting paper. Like this one from my collection:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1163673[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Notgeld Notes or Serienscheine and most coinage were sold to make money as people began collecting them. The one above was meant to be used and is printed on cardboard like a ticket.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Aidenbach / 25 Pfennig Voucher / 1917</b></p><p><b>Obv:</b> Darlehenskassenverein Audenbach / Gutschein uber 25 pfennig / Aidenbach, den 15 Januar 1917 / Xaver Holzlberger Vorstand / No: 5015 <b>Translation:</b> <i>Loan Association Aidenbach / Voucher over 25 pfennigs / Aidenbach, the 15th of January 1917 / Board of Directors: Xaver Holzlberger / No: 5015</i></p><p><b>Rev:</b> Dieser gutfchein wird jederzeit vom darlehenskaffenverein Aidenbach Reichs munze eigeleit und verliert drei monate nach dem tage des friedensfenluffes vom gegenwartigen weltkrieges feine giltigkeit <b>Translation:</b> <i>This voucher is initiated by the Aidenbach Reichmunze Loan Register Association and loses its validity three months after the day of the peace of the current world war.</i></p><p><i>.</i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]1163677[/ATTACH] </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Most notgeld that was actually used were used during the war or as an alternative to government money after the war and circulation was very limited to certain areas<i> and used as a voucher.
