I think they might be from Germany, but maybe not. Thanks in advance! (Sorry, their taken w/ my camera. Trying to fix my scanner.) Report this Post to the Staff

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 10:41 am Thanks! So it would appear that they are almost all from the same town. Any idea on their value? Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 10:47 am More likely than not $1-$2 each.. Report this Post to the Staff
Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 2:55 pm They're not inflationary notgeld, they are 'serienscheine' which were printed by towns as souvenirs and for collectors, and were rarely used as actual currency. They all appear to be from the town of Hann Munden. 'Amida17' is right with the price, notgeld for the most part is fairly inexpensive. Edited by Ark 02/10/2013 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 12:27 am @Amida17, easy way to tell is inflationary usually feature fairly boring, utilitarian designs and are in huge denominations (10,000 Marks, 100,000,000 Marks, etc), they're are also called 'Grossgeld'. 'Serienscheine' feature very colourful designs, depicting famous landmarks, famous people, poems, stories, and political messages (antisemitism, nationalism, etc) and are usually in small denominations (1 Pfennig, 50 Pfennig, etc).

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 09:57 am I think I have some "inflationary" notes with the high denominations. Those are probably worth around the same as the "serienscheine", right? I have a couple that are really big IMO. Certainly wouldn't fit nicely in my walet Report this Post to the Staff
Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 3:39 pm The large denomination ones can be worth a little more, one in Fine-UNC condition could be worth $5-20 depending on what it is. Go on ebay and see what everyone else is selling it for. Report this Post to the Staff
Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2878 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 04:02 am Because they are so plentiful Serienscheine largely needs to be in pristine uncirculated condition to be of interest to collectors. It's a great area for people to collect on a budget.

Bacchus2 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2878 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 10:50 am They are fun notes. Most "sets" can be obtained for £5-£10 and can be from 2 to 12 notes. I have a couple of medieval themed series framed and they hang in my "gothic medieval" hallway to add to the decor. EDIT. The set of two Grabowski / Mehl catalogues "Deutches Notgeld Band 2, Deutsche Serienscheine" is an essential buy for reference.
