[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2612203, member: 83845"]Thanks for the responses everyone! I hadn't seen this bill before but that's hilarious. A quick google search didn't turn up much info on what the designer was trying to say. I am assuming a political statement of some kind and not just 7th grade humor but since I can't read German I'll have to look into it more. I also wanted to encourage anyone with coins or bills from any timeframe or country to post your inflation related items (not restricted to post WWI Germany :-)). For example: Here is a pair of ancient coins in my collection from the Roman Empire under the reign of Elagabalus. [ATTACH=full]571699[/ATTACH] 218 - 222 AD Denarius Wt. = 3.26 grams [ATTACH=full]571702[/ATTACH] 218 AD Antoninianus Wt. = 4.5 grams. The antoninianus was valued at two denarii but was not twice the silver content. People then hoarded the denarii and prices rose to compensate for the new inferior coins.[/QUOTE]
