It's interesting that their currency is named after the Quetzel bird. I wonder how often that's ever happened. I guess technically our Canadian dollar coin is called a 'loonie' so that sort of counts.

I went back through this topic to see all of the cool notes and I had forgotten that there is a running list of odd denominations on the first few pages, curated by member DL20K (who also started this topic). DL20K hasn't posted since 2017. Anyone have any intel?

Hi @Longbeard - the highest face value issued notgeld is often quoted as the Duesseldorf 100 Billionen mark (100,000,000,000,000m).....but Crefeld issued a 200 Billionen mark piece. (There was also a 'Billiarde' note made in Duderstadt but that never went into circulation - picture taken from Alfred Diessner's 'BILLIONENSCHEINE' catalogue. That would have had another set of 3 zeros!!) I just saw the first picture has prices - they are already sold - sorry.    Edited by notgeldman

You won't find the last 2. The Duesseldorf 2 you can sometimes find. Be careful with the price you pay. Prices are sometimes ridiculous, especially from American dealers / sellers.  |

I forgot where I've seen it, but IIRC there was a notgeld banknote of 100 billionen mark that actually spelled out 100,000,000,000,000 with all the zeroes - making a tie with the much later Zimbabwean note for most zeroes spelled out in the face value.
Now that I'm searching I can't find it again. I could swear I've seen it somewhere...

You can fairly easily find an actual Billion mark piece. The scarcer high value ones are expensive but around 30-40 dollars should get you a 1 Billion mark note.  |
