<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 168608, member: 66"]The german notgeld coinage does make an interesting collectable. It can be found in metal, porcelin, and in some other exaotic materials including coal! (Powdered, mixed with a binding agent and then "struck".) </p><p><br /></p><p>I collect the metal issues as cataloged by the 1966 Municipal issues book by Robert Lamb. (I also have the 1970 Upton book, an the 1984 Funk, and the Menzel (sp) books) It is possible to build a fairly large collection of these coins for around $5 apiece, but some of them get pretty salty. It is very difficult some times to know what a valid price is though. Menzel prices would be the most accurate, but even those are years old and in German marks. The closest thing there is to an on-line collectors group for them is a sub-group of the One per country collectors group in Yahoo groups. While some of them limit themselves to just one coin per city others collect the whole group.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
