<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 326570, member: 6370&quot;]very cool, thanks for the clarification on the German, I have to admit I use a guy on another forum who is from Germany and can do it far faster and better than I can with a translator, mainly because a lot of the dialects on these bills confound a translator.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, you describe exactly what I love about these bills and coins...its like a free for all, anything goes type of situation...like the answer to the question:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;what would happen if everyone and their dog in a society suddenly designed and minted / printed their own money?&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Such a wide variety of themes and styles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like you say, many of these were never meant to be used although I do have some coins and bill that were circulated. I have recently been going further back, closer to the beginning of the war, 1914, 1915, 1916 and looking for earlier Notgeld that WAS made to be circulated. Not only are these bills more expensive, they are FAR more plain. Some are just hand written, others are just very plain paper with a little text on them...far from what they would become a few years later...and then there are the hyperinflation bills...both Reichsbank and notgeld.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Recently I found and purchased this album for storing notgeld, as you know... about as fast as they came about, they became collectors items, in fact it seems the collecting of banknotes truly kickstarted at this time...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldalbum.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeldalbuminside.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While I have you here, how about help translating this little notgeld bill that seems to be ABOUT notgeld and shows albums like the one above:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/notgeld/notgeld1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It would save me time, if it not large enough, I can post a larger version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
