<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2612870, member: 39&quot;]You can see larger images of those Paderborn notes here for example:</p><p><a href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.padersite.de/notgeld.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Each of those notgeld bills comes with a short ironic poem; two rough translations:</p><p><a href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld011.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld011.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.padersite.de/notgeld011.html</a></p><p>From the cathedral treasure the Tolle Christian (see the second paragraph <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_the_Younger_of_Brunswick#Campaigns_of_1622-23" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_the_Younger_of_Brunswick#Campaigns_of_1622-23" rel="nofollow">here</a> ) had gold ducats made. Now gold has become scarce, but paper we have enough.</p><p><a href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld014.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.padersite.de/notgeld014.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.padersite.de/notgeld014.html</a></p><p>Even if it has become fashionable to walk past Paderborn (i.e. to not go or stop there), then at least join the fun and buy this little note.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
