Nancy S. asks: I have a German bill that is (ein zwanzigtausend mark) 20,000 mark. It dates back to 1923 and has red, green and black colors on it. It is in good condition. I was wondering what it would go for as a collector’s item. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
This note was part of the great inflation in Germany in 1922-1923. By the time that it was over, Germany was printing Trillion mark notes. There are lots of collectors for these notes, but many of the issues, like yours, are very inexpensive – less than a dollar. There are a few rare issues, mostly ones printed toward the end of the crises that were only briefly issued.
