A wheelbarrow full would get you a loaf of bread, right? Or was that just the regular marks before the hyperinflated note?

The way we're headed, it may be the same here too, soon. :-(

BTW, what's the largest 1923 Weimar mark denominated bill you have in your collection?

Well, I think it was one day it was NOT chump change, then it was not what it used to be, and the day after that it was chump change. And then it started inflating by the hour.

I’ve got a 5 BILLION Mark postage stamp from Weimar. It’s the highest denomination that they printed. A week later Germany switched to the Renten-Mark, and the stamp became worthless.
