VOHWINKEL 1923 5 Trillion Mark "America, You Have it Better" USA Map, Gold Coins

Description: VOHWINKEL 1923 5 Trillion Mark "America, You Have it Better" USA Map, Gold Coins This is the highest denomination and the culmination of the inflation Notgeld series from the city of Vohwinkel, Germany (today part of Wuppertal). The prices around the border of the note have reached their pinnacle: 560 Billion Marks for a liter of milk, 700 Billion Marks for a single egg, and 90 Trillion Marks for a coffin, among others. The 1914 prices are also listed for comparison, that was the moment when Germany went off the gold standard. The sentiment expressed here is a jealous longing for the gold-backed currency and the gold coins of the United States. Goethe's poem "Amerika, du hast es besser" (America, you have it better) appears on the note alongside a very hilariously inaccurate map of the USA and images of the US gold coins. I should point out that this is the only German Notgeld note to feature many of the US cities depicted here. My translation of Goethe's poem would be: America, you have it better, Than our continent, the old [one], You are not inwardly disturbed, In happy times, By useless memories And vain conflict. Trillion-notes (Billionenscheine) are the rarest and most sought-after of the inflation notes. eine Million = one millioneine Milliarde = one billioneine Billion = one trillion All notes are guaranteed genuine.You will receive exactly the note(s) in the photos.Orders are shipped well-protected, usually within 1 business day.FREE US SHIPPING is included for all items.
