<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 1009762, member: 21773&quot;]Like another member on here correctly stated, the piece of currency you have are real but the stamps are fantasy pieces added later. BUT, there are certain banknotes out there that do have a dark history to them. The concentration camp Buchenwald had banknotes that were used by prisoners. As far as &quot;ghetto money&quot;, there are some notes available that were supposed to be used by Theresienstadt, but from the references I&#039;ve read in the past it appears that those notes were printed only to fool outsiders into believing that the people living in the ghettos were living normal lives, complete with a currency of their own that they could use to buy whatever they needed (despite the fact the currency had no value).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a small collection of banknotes issued by the Nazis, and they include ones from mainland Germany, occupied territories, and Ukraine. One dark item among these is this banknote:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v662/subliminalxtac/nazi1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It was issued by the germans to be used in POW camps by prisoners of war. I keep it in my collection, but always have an uneasy feeling handling it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
