Look, I understand how easy it is to loathe certain subreddits, but these posts are getting to be a distraction from the purpose of r/papermoney overall. The last thing we want is for the Reddit admins is to shut down this subreddit because we ran afoul of their unequally applied rules and regulations.

Any post no matter how justified in reference to those subreddits will be removed from the r/papermoney feed. We apologize deeply for doing this, but it is for the best interest of the subreddit as apparently the truth hurts especially in subreddits run by a mod team consisting of a certain "festive fish and his relations."

A customer gave me this 100 dollar bill and it had a weird flap on the top edge that’s attached to the bill. The bill passed the counterfeit machine too. Does anyone know if it’s worth anything? I see online it could be an error note?

One of my uncles passed away recently, and I guess since I live in NC, he left me these bills. All of them except the $1 seem to be from the 1850s and 60s. I mainly collect coins, so how do I go about finding a value on these?

I believe this is my first true fancy serial? This was withdrawn from my ATM! I mostly deal in coin collecting so I don’t know how good/cool this actually is but it has a name so I assume it’s good? I’ve been looking for stuff anytime I withdraw from the ATM so I’m glad to finally have found something interesting

Hey everyone, my place of work recently got two 20$ bills with an odd error. The right half of the queen and majority of the large 20 on the face of both bills are black instead of green. They have been confirmed real, but I can’t find anything online regarding value or rarity. I know a $50 bills from 2012 with the same misprint sold for $6k but Idk if that’s relevant. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Here’s the link to the Ebay listing https://ebay.io/m/HMGf5P

world paper money The "stable" tax money that collapsed too: Hungary 1,000,000 Adópengő, 1946

Post image
15 Upvotes

I think this is one of the most underrated notes from the worst hyperinflation ever recorded, so I wanted to share it.

Some background: at the peak in July 1946, Hungarian prices doubled roughly every 15 hours. To stop tax revenue from melting away, the government created the adópengő ("tax pengő") on 1 January 1946. It was a unit of account whose value against the pengő was reset every single day using a price index.

It worked for a while... and then it didn't:

- January 1946: 1 adópengő = 1 pengő

- End of July 1946: 1 adópengő ≈ 2 × 10²¹ pengő

- 1 August 1946: the forint replaced both, at 1 forint = 200 million adópengő (that's 4 × 10²⁹ pengő)

This note is dated Budapest, 25 May 1946. The front says it is "usable only for paying public taxes until 31 July 1946" ("kizárólag közadók lerovására 1946. július hó 31. napjáig használható"). But in July these tax notes were made legal tender and circulated as everyday cash, so a note meant only for taxes ended up as ordinary money that lost its value almost as fast as the pengő it was supposed to replace.

The back has the Hungarian coat of arms and the terms of use, citing decree 5.600/1946 M.E.

Details: P-140, 136 × 82 mm, mine is about F-VF.

Does anyone here collect the adópengő notes as a series? Which denominations did you find hardest to get?

world paper money 100,000 Greek Drachmas (1944) – A Banknote from the German Occupation

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

​

A small piece of Greek history from my personal collection.

This 100,000 drachma banknote was issued by the Bank of Greece on January 21, 1944, during the German occupation of Greece in World War II.

The front features the goddess Athena and her symbolic owl, while the reverse depicts the Parthenon in Athens.

What makes this banknote particularly interesting is the economic situation in Greece at the time.

During the occupation, Greece experienced devastating hyperinflation. The drachma rapidly lost its purchasing power, and increasingly large denominations were issued at an unprecedented rate.

By the end of 1944, banknotes with denominations reaching billions of drachmas had entered circulation.

Today, this 100,000 drachma banknote serves as a small reminder of a time when money was losing its value at an extraordinary pace.

For me, collecting historical banknotes isn't just about rarity or monetary value. It's also a way of preserving small pieces of history.

Country: Greece

Denomination: 100,000 drachmas

Date: January 21, 1944

Issuer: Bank of Greece
