WORLD WAR 1 - GERMAN NOTGELD (EMERGENCY MONEY) 1914-1921 COLLECTOR'S PIECES. Each auction is for one piece, as shown in scan. Scans of front and back below.
Condition of these notes are used, but still very good(some uncirculated). GERMAN NOTGELD (EMERGENCY MONEY) During and after the first World War few countries in Europe had any silver or gold to back their coinage, nor enough of the normal coinage metals, including copper and nickel, with which to make coins. Needing to continue somehow with their daily economy, Germany began to issue money. Since the national issues were in short supply local governments undertook to make up some of the lack, and issued their own "notgeld," or "emergency money." At first (1914-15) this money was quite plain, with a simple seal of the issuing authority, and signed by some local notable. But by 1920 towns, villages, and even businesses had begun to issue whole series of notes in brilliant colors to take the place of the coinage they lacked. Notgeld, as a collectible class, remains quite affordable at present, availing us all of access to a truly fantastic era in the history of currency, and of a people.
