I hadn't picked up on that (although in my defense, those last two sort of blend in).

You did good, these are becoming scarcer and are always popular, many collectors don't have them and want them.

Here's another really enormous Polish note dated 1919 that I came across today, the denomination being 1000 Marek. At 216 x 136 mm, it's even bigger than the 500 Marek with which I started this thread. It's certainly not uncirculated, but actually is still pretty crisp, with a single center fold that seems not to have been done too often. I'd judge that it's in far better condition than what's normally the case for a nearly century old bill of this size.

You did well getting any of these pictured notes for $10 apiece. The Babel note is a great find.

These notes used to be 'common' perhaps 50 years ago, but now stocks disappeared some time ago, and they are now found when they come out of collections or small hoards. Even circulated examples are even garnering decent prices, especially in clean VF and better.

These large European notes were invariably folded, to fit into large wallets, right down to pocket sizes, so AU and UNC examples are really not common, and F or worse is commonly seen.
