<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 2492337, member: 74343&quot;]They were made in post WWI germany when the mark was virtually useless. The coin I posted is made of tombac and others where made from aluminum and lead also. Note the 10000 mark denomination as well due to hyperinflation. Porcelain was used as I can only assume because it was cheaper than using metal for lower denominations. I know there were a lot of different designs and many of them being quite rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are very interesting from a historical standpoint imho because they show the rough economic circumstances through post WWI germany which would be one of the factors that gave way for Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power.</p><p><br /></p><p>Correct or add to any of this if I&#039;m mistaken or missing something else as I don&#039;t collect these too often.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for how they were made, I have no clue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notgeld is german for emergency money I believe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
