Jeg kedede mig lidt så jeg har arbejdet lidt på sagen. Berlin sedlen er ikke
mere end papiret det er trykt på. Her kommer en samtale jeg fandt i

nedenunder, da jeg har dårlige erfaringer med lange links.
Probably a stupid question but...
I just found an old German Mark note from 1910 and I was wondering the
experts here could tell me if it is worth anything more than the paper it
is printed on.
First, does Germany recognize old bank notes as still being legal tender?
I read somewhere that the U.S. does, but I don¹t know about foreign
countries.
It¹s a 1000 Mark Reichsbanknote dated ³Berlin, 21. April 1910.² The ink
is a dull grey/brown which might have been a light red originally in some
places on the bill. In terms of condition it has multiple creases, and is
somewhat dirty and faded. It has no cuts or tears, and the edges and
corners are intact.
That¹s about it. Not being a collector, I have no resources to draw upon
so i would appreciate any info or advice.
Thanks.
Joe P.

The answer in no, because the government that issued these bills is no
longer in existence. I wish they did, because my 100 million Mark bill
could ease my future financial concerns.

These notes are quite common and usually sell for 25 to 50 cents.

The German notes were demonetized, and any date prior to World War II no
longer has any face value. They do have collector value, depending on the
date, denomination, amount of wear, and the particular variety

This too would retail for less than a dollar. These are very common notes
and thousands of them are still around.

Thanks John & Alan for your responses. I didn't think the note would be
worth anything but it's always better to check with those in the know
before you trash something out of igorance.
I did hear of a story a long time ago where someone exchanged one of those
Weimar Republic inflationary notes with some bank in Minnesota where the
teller or whoever cashed it at the present exchange rate. When they
realized their mistake the bank tried to get their money back. I don't
remember any of the details and the story may just be apocryphal wishful
thinking.
Thanks again.
Joe
