Notgeld - How many notes were issued?

Welcome to my new look 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!!)

You can join the GNCC for a very small one-off lifetime fee, by selecting the 'GNCC logon' tab above. Happy notgeld collecting from me....Tony the 'notgeldman*from*england' (www*notgeld*com)

How many notes were issued?

* 5,500 varieties of 1914, issued by 452 places. * 36,000 varieties of 1915-1922, small value notes (kleingeld), issued by 3,658 places. * 5,000 varieties of 1918-1919, larger denominations (grossgeld), issued by 579 places. * 4,000 varieties of 1922, between 100 & 1000Mk, issued by 800 places. * 70,000 varieties of 1923, inflationary notes, issued by 5,849 places. * 3,660 varieties of 1923/4 notes of constant value (wertbestandiges), issued by 562 places. * 3,000 varieties of P.O.W.notes, issued by 600 issuing locations. These figures are based on the findings of Dr. Arnold Keller, a collector, then dealer, then author of notgeld related books, who died in Berlin in December 1972. Any true collector of notgeld will have undoubtedly, come across his name. If you take all types of minor varieties into account, then the number, I have heard, is more like 163,000 in total. * Serienscheine basic issues, listed by K.Lindman in his 'Band 1: Grundausgaben' catalogue.................8810 notes. * All types of serienscheine...........my findings......1440 issuing authorities with about 2000 different series, some with many variants.
