A new series of Reichsbanknotes was issued in October 1924. The notes were of impressive design and are now popular with collectors, but the quantities issued were relatively small. We are pleased therefore to be able to offer a limited quantity of 50 and 100 Mark notes. They have been in circulation and are generally in F+ (good Fine) condition. Reference: GERMANY 003 Price Per Pair: £17.50  During the period immediately following the first World War, local banknote issues, or Notgeld, were used in most German towns alongside the Reichsbanknotes issued by the central treasury. Because of the raging inflation in Germany at this time, larger and larger note denominations were used, and this is reflected in these notes from Wetzlar. The values offered are: 5,000,000 Mark dated 11th September 1923 100,000,000 Mark dated 9th October 1923 100 Milliarden Mark (100,000,000,000 Mark) dated 26th October 1923 The notes have seen no real use and are aUNC (about uncirculated) condition.
