Sap Moderator Australia 16837 Posts	Posted 09/13/2007 03:50 am I would guess the answer to your question is "both". Remember, if you've got stuff in a foreign language, always try BabelFishing it. In this case, BabelFishing the text on the top picture tells you where: "Brauerei" is (as you might have guessed) "brewery", "Vereinigung" is "combination" (my German dictionary says it's in the sense of union, association or incorporation - "Vereinigte Staaten" is the German name for the USA), while Kulmbach doesn't translate - turns out it's a town and district in northern Bavaria. The other side tells you what it's for: "flashenpfand" transliterates to "bottle pledge", while "marke" is a coin or token. The Coffing checklist of notgeld lists "private metal" pieces are known for this locality; private metal pieces are rated A, the least scarce rarity grade (less than $25), so it's probably not too scarce. 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.

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 10/01/2007 1:00 pm Sometimes machine translation works fine, and sometimes ... "Flaschenpfand" means (bottle) deposit. Guess that this brewers association would give you such a token when you returned the empty bottle. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
