<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Milesofwho, post: 3092409, member: 91469&quot;]Well, to continue the saga of new things I’ve bought, here are some new banknotes I bought (Parts 1 and 2 can be found <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-pickups.316965/#post-3089148" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-pickups.316965/#post-3089148">here</a> and <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/latin-issue-trachy.317006/#post-3089798" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/latin-issue-trachy.317006/#post-3089798">here</a>).</p><p>First there is this 1922 5,000 Mark, from Mannheim, Baden. The store had a lot of these, and from what I can tell the value of one of these is more than the price than I paid for the whole lot. [ATTACH=full]780609[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]780610[/ATTACH]</p><p>Then there is this early Soviet 50,000 Roubles banknote. In fact, it’s so early, the USSR did not exist! This was issued under the Russian Socialist Federated Soviet Republic (how’s that for a mouthful?). From what I can tell there’s no watermark. I just realized the border is various foodstuffs, doubtlessly symbolizing their future “prosperity” for all people.[ATTACH=full]780611[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]780612[/ATTACH]The rest of the banknotes are French Notgeld, with two exceptions. They all wanted to curl up, so I set two coins on the edge to flatten them enough to photograph.</p><p>This city is a shoo-in for Notgeld. Where else but Paris? On the banknote, they forgot the sun on the franc! I also bought the silver franc after buying the banknote.</p><p>Paris, 1920, 1 franc.[ATTACH=full]780615[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]780616[/ATTACH]Here is the location of the city, within France and its respective region. [ATTACH=full]780617[/ATTACH]Where Paris’s mintmark is “A”, this city’s is “B”. It is the city of Rouen. It has a third series stamp on it, for whatever reason. I’ve also seen it with a second series stamp or none at all. I don’t know the meaning of it, so if anyone does, please let me know. The embossed city stamp is neat too.</p><p>Rouen, 1920, 1 franc.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]780627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]780629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]780630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
