This presentation discusses the money created for and used in the colony until the end of the German Empire in 1918. Presenter: Doug Mudd

Great video (& would be nice to see in the World forum):
Some take-aways:
-the silver 5 Rupien was heavily counterfeited in India (be careful if you want to buy one)
-the Germans took railway cars off the tracks & minted their currency in them (interesting)
-the German East African notgeld sometimes gets mixed up in regular German notgeld (like "finding a needle in a haystack.")
-all of it is tough to find & can be pricey
