<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 33807, member: 1824&quot;]I know that there were coins &amp; banknotes issued for various Nazi concentration camps.Krause lists the Lodz Ghetto coins,but Pick does not list the banknotes.I have seen banknotes that were issued at Theresenstadt &amp; the Lodz Ghetto.The Theresenstadt ones depict a representation of a Jewish rabbi holding up 2 tablets inscribed either in Yiddish or in Hebrew.The rest of the notes are inscribed in German,which always includes the inscription,&#039;Quittung Uber&#039;.Has anyone else seen these notes?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have got a note that I have never seen listed.It is a 1 Reichsmark.I have tried my best to transcribe the German language inscription,as I find the Gothic style writing difficult to read.It is a uniface note with a black frame on off-white paper.It has the Nazi eagle at bottom left &amp; an orange triangle in the centre.The note is on a lozenge watermarked paper.The note is inscribed as follows;</p><p><br /></p><p>&#039;Kriegsgefangenen = Lagergeld.Gutschein uber 1 Reichsmarf.Dieser Gutschein gilt nur als Zahlungsmittel fur Kriegsgefangene und darf von ihnen nur innerhaub der Kriegsgefangenenlager oder bei ArbeitsKommandos in den ausdruklich hierfur beseichneten Verkaufsstellen verausgabt und entgegengenommen werden.Der Umtausch dieses Gutscheines in gesetzliche Zahlungsmittel darf nur bei der Zustandigen Kasse der Lagerwerwaltung erfolgen.Zuwiderhandlungen,</p><p>Nachahmungen und falschungen werden bestraft.
