Linzdaughter New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/22/2021 7:37 pm Hi, I'm in California, US, and finally getting around to looking at some Austrian notgeld I inherited through my father. I bought a copy of World Notgeld (2nd edition) and am trying to understand the book before sorting through my notgeld. Can anyone kindly tell me what "NO" and "OO" mean? Does anyone have any great system for sorting their notgeld? Any suggestions on how to read rather the stylized printing to figure out what town has issued the notgeld? As you can tell, I am at the beginning of this journey. I only wish my grandfather had told me about his collection when he was still alive. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I suggest downloading this font from the internet and studying it a bit. You will eventually get used to it. Report this Post to the Staff
