<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 395468, member: 6370&quot;]talking about germany, these coins were pretty much worthless by the time they were minted and released, with hyperinflation every week denomiations got higher and higher and they simply could not product the coins fast enough to release them in time for them to be viable. With bills they could just print a higher denomination on the already printed bill, with coins...they just became a reminder of how bad it had become:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.wcoins.com/d_ximages/c3108.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img4/73-29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img4/73-35.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/img4/73-36.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>even the 500 mark coin was far smaller than what was needed at the time of its release (or very shortly after) to buy anything....at best it was able to be used very briefly as the smallest of change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
