I am always trying to attract new collectors to the interesting world of German notgeld. Due to the number of notgeld related emails and questions I receive, I decided several years ago now, to start up the 'German Notgeld Collector's Club' (GNCC) People who I have emailed, regarding the subject of German notgeld, in the past, are also encouraged to join. To become a member of my GNCC notgeld club, a one-off joining fee of £12 (or equivalent) is required. (You can register by using the tab at the very top of my website homepage). I spend a lot of my free time, dealing with queries from people, regarding notes that they may have been left by their Grandfather, or notes they have just come across etc. etc. I also have costs of web development, web hosting and permanent web space. This small one-off payment would entitle you to membership of my GNCC, where the following benefits are offered; Free advice on all your German notgeld queries. (unlimited).
Access to the GNCC forum...a discussion centre where you can post notgeld related items for debate and general chit-chat. (Every time I find out something new, I'll try and make a posting myself). It will hopefully become a whole library of notgeld knowledge....helping beginners and established notgeld collectors all around the world!! (Please note this option will show as * GNCC forum, so you know it is a 'new' option once you are logged in.) Any subsequent page that has an asterisk in front of it's name, is only available as you have signed in. Access to other notgeld info. that is 'hidden' to non members or only available to members who are logged-in. These include information on ; 'anti-semitic', 'Bielefeld 100m pieces', 'scarcer pieces', 'series variants', 'error notes', 'serial numbers' etc. etc. As the website grows, specialist additional info. will only be available to my GNCC members. All these options have an asterisk by them, once a member has logged in, so that they know it is a registered access page. Free 'general market valuation' of individual notes. This will let you know if you have a 'rare' piece of notgeld and what you might reasonably be expected to get for it, if you decided to sell to either a collector or a banknote dealer. 6 Free German notgeld pieces sent to all 'new' members, with postage paid by me (normal uninsured). For every 10 new members who join the GNCC I will hold a free draw for a 'non-common' piece of German notgeld, which will have a current market value, at the time of the draw, of at least the joining fee! (When membership becomes 10; I will have the 1st draw. When membership gets to 20, I will have the 2nd draw. When membership is 30, I will have the 3rd draw...and so on). All 'M?????' members will be entered into the draw, even if they have won before! The winner's name will be placed on my website, so you can all see the results.....and hopefully chat with each other using the new GNCC forum etc. which I have just created. Members names, membership number and country of residence, will be posted on my website. Only members with an 'M' (normal membership) number will be included in the draw. When a GNCC member has spent £100 or more, buying German notgeld from me, either via my web 'Notgeld Shop' (see tab above) or from me on eBay, then I will return that member's GNCC joining fee.......(this has, in the past, usually been by including extra free notgeld to the said amount). If you have any suggestions or thoughts about my G.N.C.C, please email me. PLEASE JOIN THE NOTGELD COMMUNITY AND ENJOY YOUR COLLECTING EVEN MORE!!!!
