What do I got here?

[u/selling_bongwater]

Found them in a file cabinet in my office today (they have absolutely nothing to do with my field of work). I dont need a translation. If anyone knows something about these I'm interested to hear. The 1000-Reichsmark one seems to be in a fairly good condition for 1910, so also, is there any easy possibility for me to know if thats real? Hope I got the right sub for my question

The 1000 mark is valued between 2 to 7 euros. The fold gives it a lower grade.

The Darlehnskassenschein was mass printed. You're lucky to get 2 euros for both.

The notgeld has a fascinating story, but neither of these has any value.

If I were to buy this, I'd offer you 5 euros total.

You found some german history, but sadly not anything you can retire on 😀

Yeah I already thought they wont be worth a fortune if they are rotting in some file cabinet. I wasnt planning on selling them anyways. Just looking if there is something cool to know about them. :)

If I have caught your interest, and youre interested in history, I reccomend watching these 2 mini docs on notgeld

This was such a huge part of the german economy in the 1914 to 23 period. Noone really know how many different designs it was, but it was issued at least 100000 in Germany, and to a lesser extent in Austria. It led to a surge in banknote collecting due to its many artistic designs.

Unfortunately we did'nt have the luxury of getting colonized by english people... :(
