German Notgeld Collector Of 46 Years, From Uk.

Nice examples!

Thanks @Harryb4
Notgeld offer so much for a collector : superb graphics and very colourful designs, varied themes like military, religious, folklore, animals, trains, peopl, etc etc, variants of different nature with quite a few just made with the collector in mind, OVPs / revalued overprints, specimens, common - rare pieces, different shaped pieces, pieces printed on different coloured paper and different types of paper, notgeld issued on other things.....like train tickets, calendar pages, military postcards, 'clocking-in' cards etc etc......it just goes on and on. So much choice for collectors and with the majority of pieces costing just a few euros/ dollars US each. I am so passionate about notgeld and just wish for more collectors to become aware of what is out there, what notgeld is all about and for them to take that initial jump!! A wonderful collection can be built up over time

Here are 2 OVPs which originally had a face value of 1000 mark when they were issued in September 1922. They have been overprinted / revalued to 5 + 10 milliarden mark (5,000,000,000 + 10,000,000,000) around a year later, at the height of the hyper-inflationary period. For about 5-10 euros each, they were an interesting purchase:

Very nice!

Nice examples!

I somehow got the back of the ten and the thirty muddled. Here is the back of the ten.

Excellent examples!

Complete sets, yes. Sometimes unscrupulous sellers will sell 4 notes as a set but they come from a set of 5 or 6, so it is an incomplete set. Always best to have a few notgeld catalogues and get used to seeing pieces and memorising them, over time.
