Hyperinflation Notes

10 million Mark, issued in Essen

I know this note is nothing like Germany's 10,000,000 Mark but at least they're a couple of Ecuadorian hyperinflation notes (P129 & P130) before they switched to the greenback:




"Scots" do any of these serious looking dudes qualify as "Rebells, dictators & despots?"

I have posted their reverse sides on the "Avian" thread.

Nice Ecuador notes walk2dwater
On the 20000, Moreno was twice President of Ecuador before being assassinated. He was of Spanish nobility descent & his sympathies were towards Catholicism,Spain & a Monarchy.
The 50000 with Eloy Alfaro, who was also a two-time President, Eloy Alfaro was strongly opposed to Moreno's pro-Catholic conservatism and rebelled accordingly over a number of years.
Alfaro was a radical Liberal & could earn a rightful place in the Despots/Rebels topic, walk2dwater

Nice example!

@owatchman's post: That Mozambique note: I'd be pretty alarmed and terrified (!) if I lived in a place where the currency on my island was hyper-inflated and had army soldiers printed on them. Looks like a direct threat in my eyes.

And this Turkish note above me looks SO very sinister. It doesn't even look real, like it belongs in a dystopian horror film.

Lovely Turkey and Mexico notes hahag, Libertad

Germany 10,000 Mark (1923)

200,000,000 Drachmai banknote from Greece printed in 1944 (75 years old).

A beautiful example.
