[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1115808, member: 26729"]The coin laying on the 1/2 Mark note is Austrian. They were occupied by Germany in WWII, but IIRC, they were allowed by Hitler to retain their own coinage. They did go through a period during and just after the war though where their coins went from silver and copper to cheaper aluminum. The last pic is of Mexican money, which has since been revalued due to hyperinflation, so have no current face value. Purely collectible, value cannot be tied to the face, and even if they were still eligible for exchange, it would be for pennies on the 'dollar', so to speak.[/QUOTE]
