From top to bottom, the two, ten, and fifty million mark denominations, dated August and September, 1923. These are much smaller in size, about 12 by 8 cm, printed on only one side, and with no pretense of incorporating any aesthetic frills or effective anti-counterfeiting measures (there certainly wasn&#039;t any worthwhile profit to be made in forging them). All that really mattered at this stage was what output off the presses could be achieved.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But even using the 50 million mark note, by November you would&#039;ve needed <b>1,600</b> of them to purchase that loaf of bread. They literally weren&#039;t worth the paper they were printed on by then (if they ever were).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
