German Children Playing With Stacks of Money During The Hyperinflation Period of The Weimer Republic
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

Gives a new definition to worthless.

I wonder what a bundle of those notes would be worth now?

Definitely right. You get at least $10 for one in reasonable condition, more if in uncirculated condition.

It is like the confederate money from the US. Once the South lost the war their money was worthless. There were people selling suitcases full for enough to get a meal.
Now Confederate notes sell for heaps. I wish I had a suitcase full.

They look like 1 Mark banknotes, if so worth about $1 to $2 uncirculated, more than back in their day.

One of the jokes about inflation era German notes, was Fritz got paid his salary in late 1923, all in bundles of banknotes and placed in his wheelbarrow. He took it down to the baker, to get a loaf of bread and checked to see how many racks of marks he would need to pay for 2 loaves. He stupidly left the wheelbarrow full of marks out the front. He came back out to find it gone, except they had stolen the wheelbarrow, the money was neatly stacked on the sidewalk!
