<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 21906189, member: 74863&quot;]It’s 1923 Germany and WWI ended just over 4 years ago. On February 20, 1923 Germany print these 5000 mark notes. Only one side is printed in order to save on printing costs.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1543805[/ATTACH] </p><p>So remember your history. Germany was defeated, they had to pay other countries reparation money and then, inflation became rampant. So what do you do when this happens?</p><p><br /></p><p>This was Germany’s approach to their money problems.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1543807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1543806[/ATTACH] </p><p>They just overprinted on the 5000 mark note and turned it into a 2 million mark note. </p><p>I don’t do German but at the very top of the bill the translation is: Valid for the Hundredfold Amount. The costs to do so were extremely low. The notes are dated 20 Feb 1923. A wonderful piece of history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
