Currency: 1944 Germany 5 mark

While my previous posts have been about coins, I also collect currency, and I thought I would post about one today.

This issue is for Germany, and was issued in 1944...by the Allies. After we (the Allies) liberated various parts of Europe, we printed money for them, as the Nazi issues fell out of use quickly.

This is one of those pieces.

What's more, my grandfather brought this home from his time in the service. So it's very important to me! I also have a French issue in the same style that I will show soon.

 

Thanks for reading!
