    Unfortunately the only signatures that the catalog describes or that count are for the State Bank Directors which is the top signature. :smile

    This note is listed in the catalog as P #113 It could also be a, b or c but the price is the same. Old date Dec. 15 1922 new date Sept. 1923. Talk about inflation that note went from 1000 Marks to 1 Million Marks (over print)in less than a year. The value is VG 2.00, VF 4.50, Unc 10.00. If the over print was inverted on the note it would have been worth a bit more.
    Inverted VG 50.00, Vf 100.00, Unc 200.00.

    The 100 Mark note is from the Weimar Republic it is a Reichsbanknote or translated a republic treasury note. Catalog number P #69b. Your note has the 8 digit serial number that's why it's a b on the catalog. If it had a 7 digit serial number it would have been an a. Price VG .15, VF .25, Unc 4.00.

    One more, last one for a couple days...

    That German 100 mark. I got another just like it for the first person to identify the dragon note and the worth of the 1917 Canadian note (earlier). If you find it and if you are interested, I'll ship the note to you free. I appreciate all your help.

    The Sonora note is movie or prop money. These were made for use on stage or i the motion picture industry. There is a book on movie money but I do not have it to tell you more.

    That is hillarious. It is a movie prop? How do you know this? Have you seen it before?

    And here I gave it a prominant position in my paper money notebook.......

    Sure does, De Orc, and I'm still laughing about it. Too funny. Come to think of it, I thought it looked pretty cheap........I guess because it was fake!

    Correct me if I'm wrong on my German, but I *think* it's worse than that.... I think "milliarde" means billion, not million...I think million in German is just "million". :cool:

    Lovely French note as for pricing they do sell well LOL have a word with Dave M he is our resident French banknote specialist :kewl:

    Here is a bit of info on the French Allied issues

    France, Operation Tom Cat

    There were two issues for use in allied controlled areas of occupation. The first issue is known as, "supplemental" and has a french flag on the reverse. These notes were issued in denominations of, 2,5,10,50,100,500, and 1000 Francs.

    The second issue, known as the "Provisional" issue replaced the first issue in June 1945. These notes have, "France" Printed on the reverse and were issued in denominations of, 50,100, and 1000 Francs. The 2,5, and 10 Franc supplemental notes remained in circulation with the Provisionals until late 1946 and in the case of the 50 and 100 Franc notes til 1948.

    So the 2nd one is the "supplemental?" It really is a beautiful note.

    The 1000 Franc note has a date of 1949, and your reply talks about it ending in 1948, so for now, I'm a little confused.......Maybe Dave M can shed some light.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks. I'll try to find them on that site, though my initial look didn't match them. I have two more French notes, both from the 1940s. I'll post those tonight as well.

    And Daggarjon was right about the dates. That is what I was talking about...

    Yep I realised that after he pointed it out to me LOL the info I posted was in regards to the 10 franc note only and not the 1000 franc.
    The info on Daves site has the begining issue date and the final issue date for that series (1000f) and I am sure that if you were to ask him he would even be able to tell you who engraved it LOL
