The only official purpose of these notes was to purchase items in the camp canteens, but since that facilities were never well stocked, the notes had little value, and seems that they were used by prisoners mostly for gambling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The notes are printed in front only, with a red triangle in the centre. They are printed on watermarked paper and serially numbered. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Issued notes are 1, 10, 50 <i>reichspfennig </i>and 1, 2, 5, 10 <i>reichsmark. </i></p><p>20 <i>reichsmark </i>note was printed, but not issued, only specimen are known.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]286635[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]286636[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]286637[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]286638[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]286639[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]286640[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]286641[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>petronius <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
