Group 024 B - Notgeld collage C1918 - 1920s

Hi Roger,
You may have answered my earlier questions, if so I'm sorry, but I still don't know what these are! Bank notes, stamps, something else altogether?

Hi Andy, thanks for the visit; yes I did respond to your question, as follows:

A brief explanation appears in the note to my album on Notgeld, but here it is (again) just for you, I also note that, along with the art work, the quality of both paper and printing varies considerably, the largest of these notes is around 100mm x 75mm (give or take a couple of mm), the smallest being about 45 x 30 mm:
Titled as 'Group **A or B' showing both sides of respective notes. this is a series of collages of a collection of notgeld; the German name covers monetary items that may be issued by an institution in times of economic or political crisis. The issue is usually made with no official central government sanction, usually arises when sufficient state-produced money is not available and generally refers to money produced in Germany and Austria during World War I.
I may not of attributed the correct names here and there, but tried my best!

The representation of seemingly historic events on some of the notes would, I think, be interesting to research for more detailed information.

Thank you Roger - sorry not to have seen your earlier reply!
I had heard of the problems of hyper-inflation in the Weimar Republic but this is a little before then and seems to indicate the problems were long in the gestation, caused no doubt by the disastrous effects of losing WWI and the terms imposed by the victors.
So 'unofficial' money, valid in a crisis. Sort of early 20th century Bitcoin, but in paper form!
And in the circs., some of them are works of art!!!
Thanks again and have a good week!

Not a problem and you are welcome. If I understand correctly it was the result of that hyper-inflation that eventually set the wheels in motion for later conflicts; have a good week yourself

Quite interesting Roger.
