Notgeld - Anti-Semitic

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)

Notgeld collectors will no doubt come across several issues of anti-semitic pieces. Some pieces are relatively 'common', whilst others (eg) Bremen - Deutscher Tag and Rudolstadt - Schutz- und Trutzbund are not. Below can be seen the obverse (front) and the reverse (back) of the 5m & 2m Deutscher Tag pieces.

The following picture shows a Jewish lady cavorting around a pillar, with Jewish men and their stereo-typical features, looking on.

The 1m note from Beverungen, illustrated above, portrays a Jewish chamber-pot seller trying to sell his wares. It says; "In the Autumn a trader offered a woman one of his wares. He was selling pots, of every shape, including chamber pots. Indignantly the woman cries 'Go away, that one's far too big for that purpose.' But David replies 'It's the right one - now the nights are getting longer.'

The note comes in 3 colours, blue, brown and olive-green. The coloured side showing the Jewish vendor is the same on all 3 notes.
