[QUOTE="petronius, post: 1418031, member: 37365"]The value of the adopengo was adjusted each day, by radio announcement, but in the Summer 1946 any paper money value was inadequate for any purchase, and barter became the only way to trade. From August 1st 1946, currency was changed, and was restored the [I]forint[/I] that had been circulated for a short time in 1848, during the first Republic and revolution for independence. But they needed time to prepare the engraving plates and print the notes. So, in this transition period, they resumed some pengo issues, with a countermark (adhesive stamp) in various colors, corresponded to the value in forint. [B]1,000 pengo, July 15th 1945, with RED countermark = 1 forint [/B][IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/35jbfah.jpg[/IMG] [B]10,000 pengo, July 15th 1945, with BROWN or BLUE countermark = 10 forint [/B][IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/2rpelip.jpg[/IMG] [B]100,000 pengo, October 23th 1945, with GREEN or RED [/B][B]countermark = 100 forint[/B] I don't have this note with countermark in my collection. The same note, without countermark, was posted by krispy at post #4. petronius :smile[/QUOTE]
