Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 11/30/2008 09:38 am Right, both were city issues (notgeld). The two places are both in the state of North Rhine Westphalia - Oberhausen is a fairly big city in the Ruhr area, Neheim is now part of the city of Arnsberg. Christian Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 12/01/2008 07:46 am All the most comprehensive references for German notgeld, both the coins and the paper money, are written in German. In English, Coffing's "World Notgeld" checklist just lists the cities that issued notgeld, and gives a few illustrations - it doesn't give any detailed listings of issues of particular cities. In Coffing, your two cities are both listed as issuing "municipal metal" tokens like yours; both cities are rated as "most common". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
