Notgeld - envelopes

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 sets in presentation envelopes Occasionally, the notgeld collector will come across sets that are in envelopes. These were issued and sold to meet a demand in the collector market that had grown since 1914. These early years, where the designs tend to be plain and basic, were actually what fuelled the notgeld issues. There was a need for small change to allow people to go about their daily business. At the height of the notgeld 'boom', 1921, thousands of sets were being produced. Here though, the reason was the demand of the collector market and NOT a necessity of small change. Collectors like things that are different and in sets, so these presentation envelope sets were a good addition. Some are scarce and therefore have high catalogue prices. Many are fairly 'common' and can be bought for around 5 euros (empty!!) I guess I have around 50 different envelope sets in my collection. The wrapper or striefband in the bottom left of the picture is associated with the scarce set of 5 notgeld pieces, issued in Altenburg and catalogued as Lm.22. and is worth around £20 due to its scarcity. These envelopes and wrappers are catalogued in the kkk-VERLAG publication, Band 4 : 'verpackungen + werbemittel'.
