| Alt monies any of you guys collect some of the old defunct German currencies and letters ?  I think the old artwork was something to behold, a lost art actually; the Alt Schrift  also our Alt Grandmütters handwriting was something to behold during those pre-WW 2 years as in this old example in relatively excellent condition found on e-bay

 | I have a few packed away. I will see if I can dig them out to scan. They are very intricate. Some are pre-war German bills.

| Let me see if I can find them this weekend, Erich. I think they are in the back of a closet. I haven't found a place for them since the move.

| Eric post when you find them we have the whole month ... Pisis, yes I used to get a small Zinn tin of Schmidt or Weiß Lebkuchen every December, but that unfortunately has passed. I love the Lebkuchen and Dominoes, etc.

| I have quite a collection of Deutsches Reich money. As a matter of fact last I counted I had about 100 bills equalling 350 Billion Reichs Mark. I also have almost the complete collection of Deutsches Reich stamps handed down to me from my Grandfather including the very last stamps printed by the Third Reich. The old money is not worth anything even to a collector, however the stamps are worth a nice sum of money. However as a collector I would never sell my money or stamps.

| I did some researching on the 1920's pre war Notgeld Adler, and yes there are literally hundreds of collectors wishing to pay some extremely high prices to find the most little known German village paper currincies. I can't see it for the life of me, but due I suppose to the originality of the item it is indeed a work of art. have you thought about puitting those in some sort of proteective binder ? We all collect in our own ways.... E ♫

| They already are in protective binders. I have several Not Geld from Danzig and Baden Wuertemberg. The Deutsches Reich stamps are in a very protective Binder and secured in a fire proof safe, since they are very valuable.
