It also has some nice doubling in the first picture ("GELD"). Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 1:38 pm Listed here as a German Token: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces32201.html No date. Several similar tokens listed. Some marked as "Jetons" or counter. I ran "Spielgeld" through google translate and it comes back as play money. According to what I found apparently some of them did circulate as unoffical currency, so it may be viewed as some sort of notgeld and that would put it in the inter-war period.

I would date it to the 1950s or 1960s, and purely for the purpose literally meant by "spielgeld": play money. 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
