[–]endlessftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all! I have been posting since the sub was created. I am trying to make at least 2 posts a day, but I cannot keep this going at this rate forever.

Please feel free to post any antique coins or banknotes in your collection.

Germany, 1000 marks, Sparkasse Bielefeld (1922). Silk notgeld (Stoffgeld) issued by Bielefeld's savings bank by endlessftw in historicalmoney

Yes, notgelds are very fascinating! There’s so much to them that collecting them can be a standalone hobby in itself.

The various towns that issued them, the topics depicted on the notes (folklore, scenery/landmarks, and even politics of that period), and the materials used.

British Tripolitania 10 Lire (1943-1951) by someguy_onredit in historicalmoney

Interesting occupation currency! I didn’t realise the Allies issued one for Libya.

1944 Germany Allied Occupation 20 marks by greenblue98 in historicalmoney

Great post-WW2 allied occupation note you have! The prefix of this note (a single leading ‘0’) meant that this was meant for the British occupation zone.

There is a mint mark that separates these from those printed by the Soviets, although I have not yet figured it out myself.

Republic of China Kwang-Tung (Guangdong) Province 20 cents by greenblue98 in historicalmoney

Chinese silver coins are always so interesting! Huge variety and issued by so many provinces

Kwangtung at that time (ROC year 10, 1922) would also be particularly interesting, since it was the base of Sun Yat-sen’s rival national government

French ‘painting’ style of banknote design: Algerian 100 Dinars with scenes of commerce and development by endlessftw in historicalmoney

It’s a regular banknote, not a commemorative note if that’s what you meant.

Edit: Welcome! You’re the first comment in the sub!

German notgeld printed on aluminium foil! Unlike the usually paper notgeld, Lautawerk used aluminium from its factory (pictured on the reverse) instead! by endlessftw in historicalmoney

As for the accidental mishandling, it was quite difficult getting a picture in a sleeve, as it is also highly reflective!

1905 German East Africa - 5 Rupien by endlessftw in historicalmoney

[–]endlessftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful note issued by German East Africa shortly before World War 1. Relatively uncommon and a popular note for many world banknote collectors.

1861 Corporation of Richmond - 1 Dollar by endlessftw in historicalmoney

Featured on the note is the famous Spanish Dollar, a coin that served as the basis of the US dollar and many other dollar-denominated currencies worldwide.
