GERMAN INFLATION BEFORE HITLER

Prepared by:  Mr. Zmago Jelinčič, collector, numismatist

In the 20s of the last century, shortly after the end of the First World War, Germany was engulfed by a severe financial crisis – inflation – due to the lost war and the payment of reparations. Banknotes were given large denominations, 10,000 Mark, 100,000 Mark, one million Mark, one billion Mark and more. At a certain moment, several hundred million and more had to be paid for half a kilo of bread.

These banknotes will be exhibited at the exhibition.
