A fraction of a cent so small I don’t think it’s worth calculating, to be honest. A trillion mark became a Rentenmark. No matter if the Rentenmark is 1€ or 1000€, you have basically nothing.
Nothing. Except if you sell it on eBay for a euro or so.
These are offered at eBay for around 10€. Otherwise it is not exchangeable.
Nothing at all
Keep it, that’s history 🇾🇪
About 3.5
You cannot exchange this for Euros. You can try to sell it as a decorative item though.
Collector’s value is the only value it has. Probably not much. Put it in a frame! 😄
it’s 0,00025 € if you translate it to Rentenmark -> Deutsche Mark -> Euro
Defunct currencies cannot be exchanged at either local banks or the federal bank (central bank) after a certain amount of time. Currently you can still exchange DM for Euro at the federal bank, but not at your local bank anymore.
It’s worth a bit if sold as a collector’s item, but I’d rather wait another 20 years and hope enough of the others to away so you can get more than 10€
Its not a currency anymore
It says “Er verliert seine Gültigkeit vier Wochen nach Aufruf durch die öffentlichen Blätter des Stadt- und Landkreises Aachen”, which loosely translates to “The validity expires 4 weeks after announcement by the city or district(?)”, which I am pretty sure has happened at some point.
Even if not, the currency lost its value so drastically, you could maybe afford to look at a loaf of bread from it after exchanging it. Your best bet, as many have mentioned, would be selling it as a collectors item on ebay, or donating it to a museum if you are feeling generous.
You can buy these on the flea market a dime a dozen.
If you glue a picture of Frederick Trump on it you can sell it to a MAGA supporter for $15,000.
Don’t sell it. It seems like this will be our currency again in the near future…
In the morning a slice of bread, in the afternoon 2 grains of salt, in the evening the paper its printed on. Its inflation money… Today? What a collector wants to pay. Not much, since those stuff was pretty popular.
The value of it is not even the recycling value of the paper
Anything issued before the 1949 currency reform can’t be exchanged into current currency. It might have some collectors value, but that’s in single Euro digits.
There’s a famous photo from that time where a worker got his salary and brought all that money in a hand barrow.
Then remove 40% if you intend to sell it to a professional.
It’s not even a banknote: it’s a voucher with a limited period of validity. It has zero actual monetary value, but you might be able to sell it to a collector for a couple of euros.
It isn’t legal tender anymore nor could it be officially exchanged.
However, I will try to do the math: 1924, after the inflation, 1 000 000 000 000 (Paper) Marks were 1 Reichsmark, so this is 0.000 005 RM (or 0.0005 Reichspfennigs).
According to Wikipedia the de facto exchange for cash from RM to DM was 6,50 DM for 100 RM. That would mean the nominal value of this bank note would be equivalent to 0.000 000 325 DM.
1.95583 DM were 1 €. So the nominal value of the note would be about 0.000 000 166 € or 0.000 000 000 016 6 cent.
So even if a exchange were theoretically possible (which it isn’t), it wouldn’t make any sense.
However there are probably collectors for these, so you might be able to sell it. But as far as I know most inflation era banknotes are very common as there were so many of them, so the market value is probably not that high.
I would keep it. It’s a cool historic item
It’s a curiosity item. You might get a few euros (4-10). It is not in any way a legitimate currency.
ETA: It’s of mainly historical value. It is, however, closely linked to deep trauma for Germany and people will not be keen to buy it. Younger people who didn’t pay attention in history class might buy it.
This is inflation money. It wasn’t worth anything then and it’s not worth anything now, even IF you could exchange it. If you authenticate it, you could try to sell it at a coin trader, but i don’t know how much that would be worth.
Zero.

People tell you that you can’t exchange it. I beg to differ though. I would exchange it for you and give you the monetary value if you want. I’d even be so nice to round up to the next full cent.

Less than the paper it was printed on…

Unfortunately I can’t find it anymore though.
But I found [this photo](https://www.gettyimages.ch/detail/nachrichtenfoto/german-children-in-1923-playing-with-money-in-the-nachrichtenfoto/613459276) where kids used cashpiles to play or [this photo](https://www.gettyimages.ch/detail/nachrichtenfoto/germany-inflation-money-which-has-become-worthless-nachrichtenfoto/545736439) where they were literally going to burn money (nowadays German’s only do this on new year’s eve).
Furthermore [here](https://www.gettyimages.ch/detail/nachrichtenfoto/weimar-republic-front-of-a-german-necessity-money-of-nachrichtenfoto/526886338) is a photo of ten times the voucher that you have (it’s still not worth the paper though).
See if you can find it here: https://www.ma-shops.de/
