My grandma has a bunch of old bills and coins. While looking through all of them, I saw this one had some old writing on it. I'm really curious what it says, but I don't speak German and google translate was struggling to see the text. If anyone could translate it, I'd very much appreciate it!

  1. Bold print on the first picture and second picture: Five hundred thousand marks

  2. Wow, 500.000 Mark is almost 250.000€. You are rich, my good man.

  3. “Reichsbanknote 500 000 mark! Zahlt die Reichsbank Hauptkassein Berlin gegen die Banknote dem Anlieferer. Berlin den 1.Mai 1923 Reichsbankdirektorium.“ an old Bank Note from the Weimar Republik. It was when inflation was super high so it wasn’t really worth anything at the time.

  4. I also recommend r/kurrent. Most Germans won’t be able to read that either and that sub specialises on old handwriting
