zach2004 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/10/2011 7:29 pm I came across this money recently that used to belong to my grandpa. Does anyone have any idea what it is? What it's worth? Or a direction to point me in to find this information. Report this Post to the Staff

Small denomination notes were originally used to cover small change shortage but evolved into these which were printed purely for the collectors market - mostly in 1921-1922. Uncirculated notes mostly sell for €1 or $1 each but there are rarieties and more expensive notes - as there are with a lot of these things.
