Notgeld issues are usually metal (coins) or paper issues. Some have appeared, however on other materials including aluminium foil!

Four notes issued by the Vereinigte Aluminium- Werke A.G, in Lautawerk, make a lovely addition to any notgeld collection. All notes are dated 8-10 Oktober 1922 and are for the values of 20, 50, 100 & 500m. They are extremely delicate, being made of aluminium foil. Depicted below is the front of the 20m note. All notes are on a silver aluminium foil. The 20m is green, the 50m is purple, the 100m is black and the 500m is dark blue. All pieces can be seen as 'scarce', with the higher value notes being very expensive!

Another town that issued notgeld on foil was Teningen. These pieces are catalogued in the coloured 'stoffgeld' catalogue by Gietl. The face values are very high as they were issued in 1923.....the period of hyper-inflation. Below can be seen such a note. It is issued on gold foil and has a face value of 100,000,000,000mark!! (The discolouring on the right hand side is the reflection when I took the scan). There is no serial number on this piece (see reverse).

Move your mouse over the image and you will see the reverse of the note! (The top note has a plain back)!!
