Germany (Westfalia) Notgeld 10000 Mark 1923
One of the biggest factors in the rise to power of brutal dictator Adolph Hitler was the horrendous economic conditions in Germany after World War I. The marks and pfennings (like dollars and cents in America) of the old German Empire became essentially valueless. It took a wheel barrow to carry enough of them to the store, so it is said.
With little or no choice, individuals an local governments started to mint their own coins. The results are called notgeld. 'Not' is German for 'emergency' and 'geld' is German for 'money', applying to both coins and currency. Hence, notgeld means emergency money.
