4 posts • viewed 88 times

I have no idea what I’m doing or how to navigate this site. Tried uploading the pics but it wouldn’t let me hopefully this link works. These notes came  with some wheaties and comic books I got for my five year old. I know nothing about them please help

 all the (1920s) German ones I think are in  wicked good condition. No stains tears  or folds. The one from Italy not so much, year is 1881 I think

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

They are German (maybe Austrian too) emergency banknotes, also know as notgelds. You can use search engine to find them (click on “Catalog” and you will reach it). Follow the steps: 1) in “All issuers” change to the city's name (it's usually, if not always, written on the banknote) or to “German notgeld” or to “Germany (section)” if you can't read it; 2) unselect “Coins”, “Tokens” and “Medals”; and 3) click on “Edit filters” and add quantity of pfennig in “Face value”. You can upload images to the search engine as well. Here is an example of what you can do (third item in result is one of your notgelds): https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=goettingen_notgeld&r=&st=148-143&cat=y&im1=&im2=&ru=&ie=&ca=3&no=&v=25&a=&dg=&i=&b=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&w=&mt=&u=&g=&c=&wi=&sw=

I’m going to put on my giving pants today as Black Letters aren't everyone's forte.

P.S. many German notgeld notes are only found in UNC/AU because they were never used as money (often never backed by any value at all) and are more akin to today's NCLT (with a big question mark on the last two letters).
