This was an unexpected find. We were going threw an old steamer trunk (left in a rental property) when i came across an envelope full of these bills. At first glance they didnt even register as money, because of the unusually small size. Pict#1-2 are the front & back (or back & front??) Top left:1921, 50 pfennig top right :1921, 50 pfennige bottom left:1921, 25 pfennig bottom right: 1921 75 pfennig. WOW, when you google these notes you would not believe how many different versions of each of these notes there are!!! Its mindblowing!

German Notgeld, mostly issued by German towns starting in WWI through 1923. I would guess there are about 20,000 types. The Germans collect these mostly by towns and regions. The notes are often in local dialects with folk legends as themes. A fascinating field of collecting.
Man, thats a relief!!!I have to make my wife google threw these because she didnt believe me when i told her i had only found two of these notes. Thank you Militarist, nice info. Hope u had a safe 4th.
