  1. In 1922 £1 was worth 764 marks.
    71,888 in January 1923.
    1,680,800,000,000,000 in November.

  2. **and as a result: Radicalism from Left and Right, eventually they went with the “right” aka “national socialism” with some painter at the helm with good voice, the rest is Hystory.**

  3. Good old times when you can play with hyperinflated currency, no smartphones or computers

  4. would love to have a mortgage back then for one of those stacks!

  5. You can buy these notes on some of the coin collectors sites, you get 100s of them for like 10 euro. At the end the quality was terrible, really coarse paper, cheap printing. I got some of them for my kids for history

  6. if you are not a billionaire by the age of 6 are you even trying?

  7. This is one of my favorite times in history, the state of the world was so bizarre and mixed up that what happened next was pretty much inevitable.
