<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 855329, member: 39&quot;]Some nice pieces you got there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Well, the difference between war tokens and post-war notgeld is not really a sharp dividing line, rather some kind of transition: There was just not enough small change for the local money supply.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is also interesting (for me) to see how many of these places do not &quot;exist&quot; any more, either because the town is now part of another city (Ohligs -&gt; Solingen, NW; Elberfeld -&gt; Wuppertal, NW), because the spelling has changed (Coblenz -&gt; Koblenz, RP) or because the city is in a different country now (Breslau -&gt; Wrocław in Poland). The nice thing about war tokens and especially notgeld (metal or paper) is that the issues do not really have to be &quot;politically correct&quot;. So quite a few of them have local and even amusing designs ...</p><p><br /></p><p>(Edit: The Breslau 10 Pf piece originally served a different purpose: &quot;Wertmarke der Straßenbahn = Tram/trolley token; &quot;Städt. Straßenbahn&quot; = Municipal Tram. But of course it may have been used as notgeld too.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
