Notgeld

Welcome to my WWW.NOTGELD.COM website. Please logon using the 'GNCC logon' tab above.

All the information from my old notgeld (emergency money) site has been copied here, but the
layout, design and content has been updated, to include even more notgeld information!

The picture to the right shows the Burgermeister collecting his taxes...but the poor citizen doesn't even have enough money to feed himself! Issued in Papenburg, Germany, in 1921, it is catalogued as Lm.1016 (or Mehl.1044). A 50pf (pfennig) note was also issued with a
similar design. (But.......75pf is not a value required in commerce....usually made up from
50+20+5.........this piece of notgeld is of course.....serienscheine.....and was not intended
for general circulation.....it was issued for the notgeld collector market of the early 1920's!!)
You can join the GNCC for a one-off LIFETIME fee, by selecting the 'GNCC logon'
tab above.
Happy notgeld collecting from me....Tony the 'notgeldman*from*england' (www*notgeld*com)

Thale block of 4. The un-perforated block here is scarcer! It catalogues as Lm.1286.1 rather than the perforated variant which is Lm.1286.3

*** I have now started to sell off most of my 17500+ collection, so please email me with sets or pieces I might be able to help you with. As long as I get catalogue price, I'm fairly happy to sell.

** Gronau (Lm.461 - Gr/Mehl.475) - half price! - see notgeld shop! **

Please contact me if you have any of the Bielefeld 100m linen or silk pieces with coloured edges and borders. I will pay 50-75 euros (depending on border type) for any piece I don't already have, so I can add it to the reference I am writing. There must be loads out there. These pieces have never been properly catalogued before, but I am trying to change that! Please join my German Notgeld Collector's Club (GNCC). Register by selecting the very top 'dropdown' tab. Well worth joining if you are passionate about learning more about German notgeld!! (There are hidden pages on this website which become visible for members who logon). You can send me up to 20 scans of your collection if you are wanting to sell, to get a general valuation from me. (One scan can be a page or 2 of the notgeld album), displaying 4 or 5 sets per page on average). For just a one-off payment of £25 (or equivalent) to me via PAYPAL, I will study the scans you submit carefully and let you know anything that is 'uncommon', 'scarce' or 'rare' - that will usually be any piece with a catalogue price of 10 euros or more. Selling your notgeld collection? If so, please contact me as I can usually better any valuations already given to you! I am a specialised collector and not a banknote dealer.

I have been collecting for almost 40 years now and there could be nothing better than to find some scarcer pieces I have been searching for and for me to pay a fair price for that privilege! I have a 100% positive feedback record (over 1300 positive comments over several years) with eBay (My userid is www*notgeld*com if you wish to check)

Following refers to German Gems references:

This is not a catalogue, rather a notgeld reference, but it does contain prices of depicted pieces. See the combined output of the 2 'GERMAN GEMS' seperate parts as the :

'Encyclopedia of German notgeld'

Lots of extra and very interesting information about towns, history and notes is included

Each file contains over 100 pages (A4 size)!!

The information contained within each 'GERMAN GEMS' reference, makes it 'timeless'. They will always be a very, very useful source of info. for the collector, now or in 10 years time. They don't and won't need any updates.

Information contained within, relates to all notgeld categories, but is strongly biased towards serienscheine

Click on the 'read more' icon below, to see 2 actual page layouts.

Last but not least...........each reference contains lots of professional German-English translations of the original German verses!!

Each 100 page reference is priced at £20.00 sterling or equivalent
