jtryka Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Very cool, I particularly like the image of the junk on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoins Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks jtryka If you're not familiar with the the image of the junk on the back, it is a depiction of the China 1934 junk silver dollar. China left the silver standard in 1935 and returned to it in 1949, the year of this note. In 1949, 30 million of the coins were struck by US Mints for China. The image of the junk coin on the back is the primary reason I picked this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoins Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I changed the title of this thread to recent world additions to avoid littering the existing thread full of beautiful US notes with world notes. Hopefully it will also make this thread last longer and help generate more posts for this forum. Here are some more cheap but historic notes, 10 and 20 million mark German hyperinflation notes. I thought I was doing well at 20 million marks but there's a 100 billion mark note out there In the end, 20 million marks was worth just under 5 Mills.

jtryka Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Very cool. I think I have a 50 Billion mark note somewhere, perhaps I'll post a photo this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoins Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'd love to see a 50 billion mark note jtryka I've found a few websites with note images but the images weren't that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 The larger denominations like that aren't that impressive, since they had pretty much given up by then, so there is really almost no artistic aspects to speak of. I have a nice 10,000 mark note from 1922 that is half the size of a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper and very beatifully engraved. I'll try to post photos in the next few days or by the weekend.

zoins Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I love seeing how people dressed and groomed themselves in days gone by. Itagaki Taisuke's beard is out of this world! That note is from 1953 and cataloged as Pick-90 (aka P-90 or JP-90). The reverse shows the Diet Building. I found it at banknotes.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
