Dear USA and other Notgeld Collectors I recently purchased a collection of special Notgeld banknotes based on Goods, Gold and US Dollars as coverage of a stable face value. These Notgeld banknotes become harder and harder to find not only in the high end section but allso like in this collection in the middle and lower price section. Please take a look into my paper money, notgeld section to find some not expensive but historically highly interesting nice specimens of this special kind of emergency paper money Notgeld. I will list them over a longer period, so take a look from time to time.
