GERMAN NOTGELD
At the outset of the First World War, coinage became scarce in Germany, and was being
widely
hoarded. The metal value was higher that the face value of the coinage, and various
metals
were in high demand for the war effort in Germany.  Due to the necessity of commerce,
Notgeld
was issued as "emergency money" to be used locally to help overcome the shortage of
small
denomination change.  It is estimated that over 3500 towns, cities, and burgs issued over
35,000 different types of Notgeld, in many different printing styles, designs, sizes, shapes,
in both paper currency form, metal, on German postage stamps, and even on playing cards.
The many colorful scenes on paper Notgeld, represent the history, culture, and strife of the
areas that they were issued from,  depicting churches, buildings, landmarks, and important
local leaders. There are also many humorous depictions, as well as  many “dark” depictions
that concern the First World War, history  of battles, and some of the phobias that might
haunt someone.  There are also anti-Semitic issues, and many other local and national
political issues, that give a clearer understanding of everyday life war torn Germany.
A large part of paper Notgeld was printed on fairly thin and low quality paper. However,
there are also notes that were produced using engraved steel plates, on higher quality paper,
silk, and leather. Generally the overall condition of Notgeld is usually in About Uncirculated
to Crisp Uncirculated condition, but was not carefully stored for long term storage.  Higher
quality, no problem notes, and issues with intriguing depictions, will bring higher prices
than the more common notes.  Less money for notes with a small bit of foxing, corner folds
or mounting marks.  Notgeld is an inexpensive, historical, and interesting area to collect.
