http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up..._deaveinte.jpg 74.65KB And here's it's backside-- http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up...einteatras.jpg 74.49KB And finally a five peso coin..wanted to show a 20 one, but I don't seem to have one (Last night began Mexican Independence Day..all my money got spent :D ) http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up...4_deacinco.jpg 7.57KB What about you? |
Check this link for the banknotes and coins (for lot of us on this board)! :)
http://www.euro.ecb.int/en/section.html (I was a bit scared to put 'the other thing' under the scanner.... [mouth] ) |
"the other thing" ?
EDIT-- hey, the euro coins look alot like our coins, gold center with a silver rim... but ours came out around the early 90's...[hmm] |
EA: they realized that it is a good idea to have them easily distinguishable by something but size..... so the 1 and 2 E coins got the colour flipped.......
I will get some good old real money (Deutsche Mark) from home later today to scan ;) |
The Almighty Australian Dollar:
(and the notes are plastic too) (notice there are no piddly 1 or 2 cent coins) http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up...2512_notes.jpg 13.48*KB http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/up...2529_coins.jpg 10.8*KB |
Here's a link, showing the first lay-out of a 20 DM banknote from 1948. Its design is somewhat close to the dollar design (well roughly; and crappy: some bills did not even have a pic!)
AFAIK they were printed in the US in a rush. They were shipped to Germany and all of a sudden stuff re-appeared in shop-windows again. (Stuff was mainly traded via blackmarket from 1945-48). http://www.dhm.de/lemo/objekte/pict/...gDeutscheMark/ 1960 (IIRC) was a new design edition made, here's the 5 DM bill: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...&category=8004 Interesting story: An artist guy painted (!!!) some notes (mainly 1000 DM) in the '70s and had a bit of criminal blood in his vains, thus he spent some of his "paintings". Police stated that the paintings were really high quality fake money... [eek] He became somewhat famous and occasionally draws Euro notes in tv shows... [lol] Later, another design style was published. I guess Killer is refering to these and let's wait for his scanning efforts :) ...ah, the nostalgia... I still have an inflationary half-million Reichsmark coin(!) [jump] - but I'm not rich :(. It wasn't even worth the metal then. Weimar Republic currency policy led to a giant inflation, resulting in a currency reform in 1923. Also, I have a GDR 10 Mark note from a visit in East Berlin, it was a school trip in 1988 (you were forced to make a 25 DM money exchange for a daily trip - at 1:1 exchange rate!). Alas, got no scanner to show you. |
Grille, nice links! Thanx!

Well, here's a better link (catalogues are incomplete, though):
http://www.banknotes.com/europa.htm (site has world-wide coverage) "Germany" is just pre-1948 and more an excerpt, but here you can see a 100.000.000 Reichsmark banknote from 1923. Everyone was a poor millionaire then. "Germany - Democratic Republic" is rather exhaustive, "Germany - Federal Republic" has some of the older "dollar"-style notes, such as the 10 DM note: http://www.banknotes.com/DE16.JPG Here's the (later) 1000 DM note, the artistic money faker used to paint: http://www.banknotes.com/DE36.JPG I think it took some days to draw all the lines and stuff, but still a nice wage-per-hour, I guess... [lol] |

But me and some mates did indeed *illegally* drink 1 beer in a snack bar (along with a wurst) during an unwatched "free-time" moment... The (good) beer was so incredible cheap that it would have taken weeks to spend all the 25 East Mark...[lol] [hmm] Maybe the citizens over there were drunk all the time, thus communism failed in the end. :D |
